    45s will probably be tight considering how low you are. You will definitely need a roll if you are going to fit them.

    I'm running Falkens on mine as well which run a bit narrower than most tires. My next set of tires I do plan on running 225/45s though.

      I'm running 16x9s with 215/45s. They fit very well. I'm.pretty low, but not that low. Not much stretch, but the rear is a perfect fit. Running a 3mm space up front to clear the strut housing though. I'll post some pictures in a little.

        I have the Nexen N3000 on my S50 car. I think they're a great tire for the price! They do run a little wide for their size so keep that in mind.

          Just to follow up, they ended up fitting perfectly. Just need to roll the rear fenders and there will be no issues. Pics will be up soon in Members Rides.
