Help! Plain and simple answer needed...

[Mikeyvex]

Hello all, first of all I've tried reading threads and just get confused. I have a stock 2015 lt sedan. It has 15" on it. What is the biggest outside diameter tire I can run without rubbing?

Basically I want to get new rims and tires. I want bigger rims and smaller tires and more of my wheel-well filled up.

I will be getting some new damping springs (is that what they're called?) at some point so I would like to lower it.

Thank you in advance for advice or pointing to the right thread.

Go there and input your stock tire size and play with numbers till you get a wheel/tire size that mimics your stock size.

I just want it to look like this stance wise. I have no idea what that means. Lol.

Then message that member and see what suspension he has and wheel and tire size.

The calculator link I sent will allow you to put factory tire and wheel size in to give a baseline of how large you are currently. You then select the new wheel size you want and manipulate the numbers for the tire size until it is a size similar or close to your factory so you won't have problems.

The top number is the stock 16 inch wheel and tire. I increased the new to an 18 inch wheel and got the dimensions of the new tire to be close to the factory so I know it won't hit or have issues.

The new tire and wheel combo is shorter than stock and wider but not too much

The car you want yours to mimic stance wise also has ground effects all the way around so yours wouldn't look like that with just wheels tires and lowered.

On my car i have 19X8.5 rims with et40 offset. Tires are 225/30r19. This is a really handy size because lots of bmw's use it. But i have no rubbing and the rims are perfect flush to the fenders.
