Hey Guys. I am getting my new wheels hopefully in a couple of weeks and have been all over the place in terms of what size tire to get for these. I am not opposed to rolling the fenders as I have some experienced folk help me with this part. In terms of performance, what is the optimal tire size for this wheel size on a DD 2.5i with a mild suspension setup of Bil sports, HR sports & UUC Swaybarbarian setup. The new wheels have a et20 BTW. Now that I have a lemons racer, this car hasnt seen much track duty, but would like to do more single day track events locally. The car sees around 8k miles annually, with a good mix of fwy and city, prob 50/50.
What would you guys run size wise? This will determine which tire I get as there are not infinite choices like other wheel sizes. When I spoke to the tire rack guys, they would run a 215/40 tire, but may go larger if they could fit them in the wells. To go larger than 215, is there much of a difference in fender rolling to get a 225 or a 235 to fit?
Thanks for your input.
