    Hey guys,
    So i'm running 205/50/16 right now. but i need to go wider, maybe 215-235. anyone know if those sizes will clear the wheelwell. and also what size tires are you using.

    thanks

    depends on wheel offset.

    I am running with 35 offset with 17" 205-40's. My tires are Kumho Ecsta 711s. And for the price, you just cannot beat them, although I believe this particular model has been replaced by the Ecsta 712 now.

    offset 35, 16 inch I went on the rear o 225 and front 215

    Rear could be 235 as well. Front is difficult, when you turn your tire will hit the fender when going over 215 in my experience.

    Thanks guys. i think 215 would probably be the best with out problems, but i will look into going 235. i saw a 5th gen with 235's and they looked freaking awesome, wide as hell.

    i would think a 215 would fit with that offset and a 35 or 40 series.
