lol thats my old thread

still havnt really got a straight answer. but i guess 225 45 16 it is.

It will work with some minor rolling. The biggest thing is the bump inside the rear fender. I usually pound those smooth when i roll fenders. But with those sizes the rears will have a taller tire then front. Might look ok with the stretch though.

225/45 ET15 with pretty rolled fenders here, rubs over big bumps. I would run 225/40



You should be fine with ET20 as long as its not super slammed. I have 750 lb springs and it still rubs under heavy compression
