RE: Widest Tires?

I was asking how wide I could go on these rims. Right now I have 235 wide. Everyone said 275 is the widest but 265 is the best. My questions was answered. That menas I can go about 3 centimeters wider.

Other than looks is there any advantage of having bigger tires in the rear than in the front?

Did you even read the thread? lol

274/40 is about as big as you can go while still being safe. It would be stupid to go bigger.

That car is so sick looking. Now I want to take my spoiler off and get new tires. What kind of tires are those? How much did you lower that thing? What springs did you use?
