Drftn280zxt Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 How about this. 225-55-15. Width ways 215-225 ought to go you good I'd think and still look good, 235 if you want to really get a wide tire on there and still not look rediculous, the 225 will probably look the best IMO. Also the 225-55-15 ought to give you a sidewall height of about 2.5". If you want to retain a close to stock look. Then a 225-60-15 or 225-65-15 would also work. Personally I'd go with the 225-55-15. Might lower the car a smidge (.25" to .5"), but I like the look of a lower profile tire personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I've run both, 235 and 245. 245's fit perfect IMO. 235 is the narrowest I'd go on an 8". Finding tires for a 15" wheel will be a little harder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismoose17 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 the car has eibach lowering springs so would 235/50or55s clear those springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Whe I had stock diameter springs I cleared a 245. It depends on the offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleachZee Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 245's will fit in the back for sure. The front tires set below the lower spring perch so its not the springs that are the problem. (just keep the outside diameter close to stock) I'm pretty sure 235 or even 245 will fit fine up front too. The outter fender lip is where you might be coming close. 245/50/15? can you get that size tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
