Just threw on a pair of nt03+m wheels. Currently has the stock 235/40’s stretched on there.
I have swift springs that give a 1.1” drop all around. I’ll be looking to replace the tires soon here as they wear out and have been researching on what can fit without rubbing or minimal rubbing. I am getting some mixed opinions.
I would like to run 255’s. Not sure if I should do 35/40%. I did notice the if I did 265/35, the speedo would hardly be off.
How can I tell what tires I can get away with before pulling the trigger?
Hoping someone with more wheel/ tire knowledge can help out
Thanks

I think 25535 would be the right number. I'll be purchasing those same wheels soon. Once I need to change the tires I'm gonna go with 255/35 and call it a day. Dropped on Eibach Sportlines.

What are the chances of that actually fitting without rub?
I guess that just depends on your camber settings. I'm -2 all around with around a finger and a half gap. With a full car I don't rub

I’m thinking 265’s is excessive, and 255 is just right. I can’t see there being a real benefit with a 265 although it must have an awesome stance

I’m on the same boat I want to run 265’s but will end up with 255’s because rubbing isn’t worth the extra 10mm
