Recommended tire size for my setup?

dphjr · 08-08-2018, 11:46 PM

Hey all,

I need a new set of tires, and I was wondering what size I need given my current setup:

Front Wheels 18” VMR V703 18x8.5 ET40
Rear Wheels: 18” VMR V703 18x9.5 ET45

Completely stock suspension. I currently have oem 225/245 on, but they are slightly stretched so I want to go bigger if I can fit it. Thanks!

I think most people with those sizes and stock suspension go with 235 front and 255 rear. Those are pretty conservative sizes so there definitely won't be any rubbing. I think you may be able to fit 245/265 with stock suspension but I believe you run into rubbing issues though I could be wrong.
