Largest rim/tire without rubbing!
Greetings All!
Just got my 95 back from the shop. Running a stock
suspension, what is the biggest rim/tire combo that can be used without any rubbing? Both front and rear. Stock just isn't doing it for me.
Would love to see some already existing combos if you don't mind as well!
Thanks in advance.

So the short answer for your 95 is that you can run 11"-wide wheels with 315 tires both front and rear as long as you use 50mm offset (which was stock fitment for the rear of a 96 Grand Sport). Going wider that that would involve cutting fenders and adding flares.
