Another tire size question...
Hey everyone,
I'm curious how tall one could go with tires? For all intents and purposes I am keeping my cars suspension and wheels stock but would like to increase tire size to 45 if nothing rubs. Thanks in advance |

Interested in why you'd want to do this. The extra sidewall is going to ruin handling, surely?

Comfort, steering response, comfort, I like the look, and, comfort. Los Angeles roads are terrible. 45 is still in the realm of performance tires. I'll likely end up trying to fit 265/40-19 and 285/40-19. We'll see what happens

265/40/19 will definitely rub when you turn on the fender liner up front near the front duct. I can't even get a 265/35 to fit without rubbing in that same spot.
