What is the widest tire you can fit on stock height, AND lowered 1.4"

[comatoast]

Car is stock height and heels now, but looking at getting rid of some of that wheel gap, and possible go to a wider tire as the 225/55/17s on there look dumb to me, just to narrow for a big wide car.. So If I was leaving it stock height, Could I fit something like a 235/50 or 245/50? Rims will be in the future as well, but for now I'll stick with just trying to figure out what I can and can't do


Also if I do lower it, I was looking at these springs, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions .. These say 1.4" drop

Yes. I fit 18x8's with 1.8" drop and 245/45's.

Even when I have three hookers in the backseat, it's all good.

Thats all thats important!!


Shoulda mentioned tho, my car is an 06, Dunno if that would limit my options, or amount of hookers..???

Same shiet. Ratio of hookers to seat is the same. Bio used to run 19's without rubbing I believe.

28x10s

No way I could do that...

Im white

If you get the proper wheel with just the right offest you can do 18x9 - 18x9.5, but you'd defintely have to roll the fenders. 18x10s are doable if you don't mind some camber adjustments and suspension upgrades, but not so easy.

Most look into 18x8s with a +30ish offset and call it a day, pretty flush and a good agressive look when lowered.

Thanks man, Ill look more into it later, but It would probably just be a 18x8 .. nothing fancy

You're suppose to say I prefer a different style

[MrPoopyButthole]

Probably 10" wide wheels, tires around 275...but then you add weight

A size setup is 8.5" wide wheels with 245s

Glad U posted, Because It was the car in your sig that made me consider Lowering my car lol

285/40/18's will fit but like posted above after 275 youre just adding weight unless your pushing some serious power and need every mm of tread you can get.

who the hell would run anything over a 255 on a grand prix unless you really needed the traction? that's just stupid and a waste of money.

Thats the point...for traction.

MEEEEE !!!!!!!!!! with 275's and a 35 off set, it rubs with lots of weight in the back, but with finders rolled no rub

im also lowered on stock struts and the rim is 9 wide

Those tires must cost an arm and a leg!!

was running goodyear eagle f1's brand new 750 bucks eack ! but i kept buying used ones for 100 bucks fore two from i guy i know.. im now running falkens and there 600 for 2

[addzradd]

I run 275/50/17's on cobra rims on track days and never have issues rubbing.

[comatoast]

Im not trying to go super wide... Just wide(er)

Looking like 245/50/17 is a close match.. But I reeaaalllly wanna get rid of the wheel gap.. Anyone have alignment issues with SSC or Vogtland?

Seeing as how most places align of factory specs, I just dont want it to be an issue

[Bio248]

you should be fine. those springs dont lower enough to not be correctable.
