I made this decision a long time ago, if you want traction the right way to do is buy an extra set of rims with slicks or drag radials. No street radial is going to compare.

Are these grippy as f tires street legal?

im running 245-50-16's on pre-gen 5 spokes and they fit good and stick killer.. they are Aroura H107's .. the wheels are alittle narrow for the 245's but they seat wicked hard and you can lower the air pressure and and they stick like glue..and theyre cheap!

For our cars tire width really does not mean anything. Its all about suspension and tire quality.

You got crap suspension and tires, it wont grip the road. And its FWD with tons of torque.......

That wont rub on anything?

many of us have done it, no.

I can always count on you bio for the right answer

**Bio248** · 12-19-2012

The stock wheels are pretty high offset. You don't have much to worry about.

if i want to run 275's what will i need ti do as of offset and backspacing on 15 inch racing rims?

Don't mean to hijack the thread but, what is the best size if comfort is the sole concern ? Daily driver long highway run each way .

the stock size. 225/60/16. tires are very different from one another.

**cmal37** · 01-17-2013

I didnt see anywhere on here, but how much does being lowered affect the tire size i can run on stock wheels? Im lowered an inch and a half, so would i still be ok running a 235 or 245?

**Bio248** · 01-17-2013

yeah, you'll be good.

**mboase** · 01-28-2013

My goals are pure traction on the street and looks with slightly smaller tire in the front

keep the tires same diameter all around for roation. its a fwd car, so having smaller tires in the front isnt a great idea. you already gotta deal with ginormous wheel gap look wise.
