Hey guys,
I had 225 sized tires put on The rear last year. They seem OK but not really impressive working. So I'm wondering what is the coolest size tire you can put on without having any issues of it rubbing anywhere? My car is lowered with eibach. Here's an attached photo of a car that I thought had pretty good rear tires that seem wide i like these much better than my 225's.

I run BF Goodrich 245's in the rear and haven't had a problem with those rubbing, my car also has the Eibach set up.

That's my car running the stock size, 235 65R 15. I also think it fits the car the best, too bad its not a size that tire companies will continue to make.

I think the stock 235/60/15's look the best, 245/60/15 also look good. Anything larger and you can't tires find it with a lower profile side wall and the rear's start to look way to big in comparison to the fronts.
These are 255/60/15 and they look too large for my taste. Apparently they fit though without rubbing on the lower shock bolts.

265/50 r15 with lowered Suspension. But you need bigger spacers.

I'm partial to a 245 as I have on mine, would never go smaller myself, wish I had went 255. Was on the fence, will on my other car
