if you do NOT want to mod your fenders, then go with the following sizes

Slamming the car:
225/30/20
285/25/20


Lowered, but not slammed:
235/30/20 *
265/30/20

* (this will rub the plastic well a tiny bit, but that can easily be pulled back away from the tire)



I just put Vossen 086's on last week and went through hell trying to decide on tire size. I went with 235/30 and 265/30 because I do not want to mod my fenders and I want as much rubber as I can get.

I'm not going to slam the s*** out of it but I'm going to give it a nice stance. I don't mind rolling the fenders but I def do NOT want to shave anything and 25 is too little tire for me, will stick with 30. This is about the stance im going with, maybe like a tiny tiny bit lower.
