how wide can i go???

[89hatchlx]

Okay im trying to keep the stock look on my car as of rite now but it needs a drag radial under it.. I want to keep the stock 18's on it but it gonna need a wider tire for sure.. Anyone got any input on how wide i can go using these wheels? Dont want any rubbing and all that drama. Dont mind a little bulge in the tire but nothing to drastic.

You can squeeze a 275 on them with minimal bulge.

I assume they're 8's, so 275s like above.

not trying to steal the thread but how wide can you go on the stock 17 in bullets?

With safety, tire wear, contact patch in mind a 265.

I run the 265/40-18 on the fanblades. You can run a 275 on either the 17x8 or 18x8.5 OEM wheel at the track, but I wouldn't run a 275 on the 8" wheel on the street.

It sometimes seems like you have 2 different cars when you bring out old pictures in new threads. lol
