235/40=ROFL... your speedo will read 80 when you're going a little above 70.
245/40=ok... still a little short. this is the widest you should go with most street tires.
255/40=best. if your tires have stiff sidewalls (i.e. falken azenis rt-615, hankook r-s2, etc.) you can run 255's.

 

I'm running 19x8..tires 235/35/19..didn't roll my fenders..could probably fit a 19x8.5 but I wasn't sure so got conservative to say the least.



Do they look big to you? I have another set of wheels though, 18x8.5 that I interchange in case I have to go AutoXing or something.

 

For me, it's boo on anything bigger than 17

 

uhh, i had rs2's in 235/40/17 and my spedo was definitely not off my 10mph. If anything, it was pretty much the same!

you referring to 19s?

 

how do you get such wide tires to fit on stock suspension?

i've got 225's on my GC and they are dangerously close to my struts (like a couple pieces of paper)

 

Are those really 19" rims? They actually don't look all that big. I'm sure in person they are huge though b/c everytime I see my buddy's 18's, I comment on how HUGE they look.

 

I think it has something to do with the color of the rims...they're gunmetal and don't really comeout that loud like white. Ideally, performance-wise, a wide 17 inch wheel is the way to go but since I'm not "tracking" the car, a little "bling" doesn't hurt. Whatever floats your boat right?

 

im not on stock suspension

Gagan (joltdudeuc) has 245's on his gc, but he isnt on stock susp.

 

those looks great!!

 

no 18x9s available.
i think i'm going with 19x8.5 again.

 

I have to agree those 19's do look pretty nice i would have to see some other angles though.

 

how stiff is your suspension setup Irvin?

 

ots tein flex w/edfc...these are the only pics that I have right now...
