if you get a low enough profile tire then you can fit 19s without an issue.a stock size 17 inch tire from a mustang will fit to.i see no reason why a low pro 18 wont fit even on a slammed car

its for my buddy, cuz now iv got 17s with 215,50, and i can just barely get a finger in between my tire and wheel well, im just curious to know if anyones had a problem with the tire hitn the arm infront of the strut, which would be directly behind the tire, thought maybe like a 205,50,18....but idk

I had 18's on my Spec V with a 215/35 tire and it wasn't a very comfortable ride.

Use this to compare tire sizes.

Tire rack will even give you a diameter of the specific tires by brand.

19's on an almost 2" drop with 35 profile tires, fits good.

I'm on Eibach Prokit spings and Illuminas and I had my 225/40/18 on there and it was just fine. No rubbing issues at all. I do rub when I go into a big dip on my 235/45/17's though but only in the front.

I am not familiar with the Megan springs, but I have the Megan coilovers with my 19's and down almost 2 inches

I had the megan springs for my FWD talon and you can still rock out a 215/225 fine.

I wouldn't go with a 205 on an 18" wheel, I mean most 18" wheels ar elike 7.5" wide. You should at least go with 215.



One of my favorite sites for comparing tires.
