Default questions about front wheel tire width

folks,

i'm still in the middle of my tt summer wheel quest, and i need a couple answers to some (hopefully) simple questions):

1. with a stock suspension, what's the widest tire width one can run on the fronts without rubbing?

2. with a lowered suspension (roughly 1.5" lower than stock in the front), what's the widest tire width one can run without rubbing?

3. what is the optimal wheel offset to get the widest tires up front?

thanks!

Default You will out-tire the wheel long before you need to worry about rubbing. On OEM wheels you

shouldn't go past 245s and 235s are better. You are going to have to get a wider wheel to get the look you probably want.
