Probably somewhere in the range of a 195-50 tire. And cut the inner lip to prevent your baller status wheels from rubbing, or remove that baller stereo system or get some stiff springs/shocks, better suspension, etc.

Hey dudes....my response was just meant to be humorous, that's all. I appreciate feed back from ALL of you. Unfortunately, a wheel change is NOT in the offing. And keith is right I am talking about the inner lip. But cutting is still not an option. It's gotta be as clean as if it came that way from the factory.

Keep those cards and letters coming!!

Actually, the stockers were 195/55/R15. The suspension went on first, Tokico HP's, Tokico springs. I believe the KDW's are just a tad wider footprint than the Parada Spec 2's they replaced. That and getting rid of the negative camber makes things rub just a bit, under the right circumstances. Sorry to disappoint but I'm an old fart and just have the stock stereo in the car. But I do have a wing and painted calipers....have a field day.

I would NOT roll the rear fenders, If possible. when you roll that lip the rear fender looses all strength making them bend very easily. I would slowly grind away at the lip, leaving some of the lip behind for strength. in the pic your not low at all. you prob just need a little bit taken off. also slight negitive camber is bennificial to handling but, BAD for straight line performance.
