Default Tires and Wheels

I know this has been kicked around numerous times before but I gotta ask.
What are the largest street tires on stock wheels that can be used without clearance problems?
While we are at it. What are the aftermarket largest tire and wheel packages that can be mounted without clearance problems.

Default Re: Tires and Wheels (Fastcar)

On the stock wheels you can run 275's in the front without any problem, and I've seen 335/30's on the rear (but I don't think the fit would be considered acceptable even though there was no rubbing!).

As far as aftermarket goes, it will depend on the offset of the particular wheel and the size of the tire that will determine if you can mount them without tubbing, etc..

There's a lot of 18"F/19"R and 19"F/20"R packages running around the Forum that will probably check in! :yesnod:
