Biggest tires

What are the largest tires that you can put on the front and back of the car without it rubbing?

I don't know, but I do know that the 4th gen section is definitely the place you should be asking.

Break it up girls.

The safest set to run without rubbing on a drop would probably be 225/45/18 or 19. I got that in 18's, and I don't anticipate any problems on 5Zigen FN01R-C's and H&R/Illumina's.

Yup, no rubbing at all. With that setup.

I get rubbing with 235/45/18 with 25mm spacers on 18" Zen Type-R's. They probably won't rub is I didn't have spacers...but I gotta clear em calipers.

Why are you running 235/45? Should be 235/40/18, which I currently have without any rubbing.

The guy I bought my car from had 20's (not sure about the rest) and it only rubbed if it was fully cocked. I know this is true because I drove with him a few times. Also it's slammed down only a 7 inch ground clearance.......

My bad, they are 235/40/18. For some reason I thought they were 45...they still rub though...but again, I had 25mm spacers. I'm now running 5.5 gen GLE stockers with 225/50/17's...they clear a little better now...and only 20mm spacers.
