My car is pretty lowered and I want to find out what size slicks I will be able to run for this spring. I am thinking that 26x8.5" should be fine and just wanna make sure. I have eibach sportline springs just for ur reference.

I also have eibach springs which lower my car quite a bit. I am running M/T ET streets 26x10.5 i think which is like a 8 inch wide thread. This tire cuts it close to the fender lip but i am running turbine wheels. If you have offset wheels you will be perfect. Im thinking you will be fine neway, thats not a big slick at all! I would get em!

26 x 10.5's without issues. Ran 28 x 9's once but it killed the car performance wise and it looked like a shackled muscle car with a super front rake. Both were on turbine's
