    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/matteb...8x10-0512.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

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