how wide can i go ?

Post by EDDY,G » Tue Dec 11, 2007 8:00 pm

going to be getting some new tires soon i think im going with ps 2 s again as i am impressed with em ! my question is .. would going up to 275 or 265s be a problem on a lowerd car?? i think its about 30mm lower than stock ... or is it just best left at 255 like stock ?

cheers

It would depend on the width of your wheels.
Are they the standard 9 spokes?
Just can't get the smile off my face......

doubt you can go much wider than a 255 on an 8.5 inch rim. Maybe 265 but not ideal

265 on standard rims dont sit properly, they baloon over the sides, might be the ideal time to think about going to 19" rims, then you can run 265/30/19 which really do look wide.
