Was running Rays 18 x 8.5 +32 front & 18 x 9.5 +32 rears with 235 40s no probs
I prefer my Evo 7 rims with 225 50 17. They are 8" & that's 1/2" over legal. They look legal ;-)
My CC +3 deg caster bushes makes turning a bit harder, but tyre wear is good.
Cheers
When I had my HSG ... I ran a EVO VII rim and tyre all round on mine ..they were 17" x 8" with a 235/45 tyre... no issues at all in reference to scubbing and on lock ... and it was dropped on kings.
I run the evo X enkei wheels 18x8.5 +38 i would have to check on the rubber size but no scrubbing on lock, they sit flush with the guards and look stock ish (only lowered a bit )
