Wheel/tire Setup Help

The maximum tires that our cars allow without rubbing is 315's in the back and 275's in the front. That's for the new edge style wheels, 99-04. The older style it's a little different since I believe the rear axle is shorter. I'm not sure what the limitations are when the car is lowered though. I'm going the max and my car is lowered by about 1.5".

Those should work! If you get worried, you could always check in at a tire store also and see what they think.

I actually have a 2002 also, so we are probably in the same boat haha. Those tires will definitely work. Good luck!

315 with a 17" tire is the max.
295 is more of an appropriate with an 18" tire.

if you want monster wide 315 you want a 17" tire so you have more side wall to flex when you are launching. 18" tire with low profile tires gives you more control at the risk of having more unsprung weight.

a 315 wide tire does look cool, but performance is negligible with modern tire technology. you can get away with cheaper and not so wide tires that have very good performance.

the front sidewall should always be a little more in the front than the rears. so a 265-45-17 in front
and 265-40-17 in the rear. if you are going staggered you can do 315-40-17. Front tires flex more when you are going around corners.

here are pics of my ride, with the maximum motorsports setup. I have everything but coil overs, so the front is a little higher than the rear. that will be fixed soon.
