American Muscle Wheels opinion recomendation

[silenthaven]

Im wanting to go for a muscle car look on my grand prix. Im wondering what the best size of tire would be with these wheels without rubbing http://www.americanmuscle.com/matteblack-saleen-18x10-0512.html also would the 8x9 be better? I have a 2002 Grand Prix gtp with stock suspension. Any opinions and or images are invited.

Not the wheel and tire packages they post and you really don't wanna run 18x10
1 it'll poke real bad
2 you will rub
18x9 shouldn't rub stock suspension as long as it's not sagging to much but if you lower the car it will rub
Commons tire size is 245/45/r18 iirc to keep the speedo as close to stock as possible

Thanks guys. I know bio knows his tires thats why i sent him a pm. Will the car have any problems with overturn if the tires are 245 cause they would be stretched?

And 255 will definitely be a problem with rubbing? Mostly just the rear tires?

They will rub and 245s won't be stretched they'll be fine.

245 do begin to be stretched on 9" wheels, but it isn't severe.

 

[Bio248]

a little bit of stretch is good for handling anyway.
