I was wondering what is the biggest tire size one could use with out installing a lift......... Thanks

 

i have an all4 with sport suspension, 1 cm lower than standard suspension

the stock 225/45R18 tires are 25.9 inch od

i run summer 225/50R18 tires with 26.9 inch od and winter 205/70R16 tires with 27.3 inch od

any tire larger than 27.3 inch od rubbed when the suspension compressed

 

In a winter tire thread a member had run 235/55/18...which are huge. He had them on oem bmw wheels of ~et 41.

I *will* be running these (if they fit) on 17x8 et 35 wheels, refinishing wheels or else I'd be testing fitting already. (found a set of winters this size for $100 so jumped on them).

 

thanks for the info..... I went with the 225/50R-17..... seems to be the best fit with out any rubbing.
thanks again

 

the 205/70r16 winter tires fit the stock 18 inch rims?

 

Wondering if you ended up doing this? I have 17x8 et 34 wheels... and wondering if I can get 225/60/17 tire on them
