Chameleon Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 i would suggest the 235/40 as the 225/45 might be a little too meaty...but also depends if you have any suspension mods. i currently run 235/40/18 with not problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk_wagon.GT Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 For suspension i have F/R cobb sways I also have rallitek spring ready to be installed Do you think that 225/45 would roll on corners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Remember the larger tires sap horsepower and add unsprung weight. I personally would not go with 235's. If you lower the car they will rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 you might run into rubbing issues if you try to run 235/40 since you are going to be lowered. The 225/45 can suit your needs fine they will not roll in corners as they have plenty meat on them... what width are the wheels being used.

mk6933 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 225/45, you will most likely be fine without rolling fenders. But that also depends on the offset of the rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 More unsprung weight negatively affects ride and handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
