How wide of tires can I run on my 98 GTP?

[ajc549FF]

Gonna be getting new tires...gonna keep my stock 16 inch rims...how much wider can I go with the tires? I have heard bonneville guys can run 255's.

305's

on a 6.5" wheel? 225's.

Thats it.

Conservative.

I run 245/50/16. - But they're a little bit fat for the rim. 235/55 is probably as wide as you should go on stock 6.5" width

the best choice is the stock size. traction won't really be improved with any wider tires than that because of the way they end up cupping and transferring under load.

Smart.

what about a 255/45/90w on a 17 inch rim?

 

[matt5112]

what width wheel?

what offset?

what springs? (how low is it?)

 

[Silversurfer Gio]

stock springs, 35+mm offset 17 by 8 wheel i think

I have 235/60's on my stockers.

Fills the wheel well nicely.
