Getting new tires.....need so help
I recently purchased some new wheels for my c3.
Fronts are 18x8.5 and rears 18x9.5
I won't be lowering the car any because i have side pipes. It sits at stock height.
What size looks the best without lowering the car? I want the widest size for the rear without rubbing and I also want the tire to fill the fenderwell good.
Most sizes ive seen are 245/45s up front and 285/40s in the rear but all of them have been lowered. I'm afraid i will end up with tires that look too small for my ride.
Would like to see some pics as well.
Help appreciated.

Make sure to check out the tire makers specs as some tires are slightly taller/shorter/eider/etc... even in the same "size".
I went with 245/45-17 on my 17x8 wheels. Common size and fits the wheel perfect.
