What size tires are on them now? That wheel finish and style really looks proper on your coupe! Looks like you have enough room in front to run quite a bit wider, and maybe another 10mm wider in back.

Can you take a pic down the side for a bit more clarity. And how much clearance at the calipers?

245/35 and 265/35

I really want to do 255/35 and 275/35 because I'm not feeling the stretched tires. The rear wheels are already poking out past the fenders so no spacers there. I might add 10mm spacers in the front though.

Will not be lowering any more. My Motordyne catback scrapes on the resonator from the midpipes.

No, I didn't mean adding any spacers, just 10mm wider on the tread.

FWIW I'd run a 255/40 275/35 just to keep the diameters a bit closer.

I see. Yeah as long as my tread is wider I'm happy lol. Wouldn't want to risk debeading the tires at high speeds, if I went that way.

Love how they all gray with the wheels matched the body and bbk! I like meatier tires as well, I would run 285/35r & 275/35f if you're willing to modify the clearance in the front, if not 255 to be safe.

Sell them to me when you're done!

I went with your suggestion. We'll see how it looks! I'll most likely have to raise the suspension for this. I hope it won't rub too much after mounting new tires while headed home.
