Question With Low Profile Tires????

See, your diameter is a lot closer to stock, at 26.2 inches. In fact, damn near the same as stock.
 
i have the 245/35/20 falken fk 452's and have had them for two years show almost no wear and are a great riding tire i wouldnt recommend the 225/30's i think that is not wide or tall enough and will be a vary rough ride.

I recall the shop I got them from saying something along those lines.
I have contemplated lowering it an inch Pektel. Think this will cause
rubbing with my 225 35's?
Sorry for the hijack.....

The shop that is installing these wheels for me just offered me 2 different sets of tires for the same cost.

Which one is better?

Option 1: Nexen N3000
Option 2: Falkon FK-452

Both options were installed & out the door @ $552.80

Nexen tires are garbage. I had them on my 18s and almost spun the car doing a measily 20mph in the rain on 7 coils. I was headed to the dealer for the coil/valve cover gasket fix.

Falkens all the way.

Really?

Mine stick pretty good in the rain but they have always felt like a very hard cheap compound.

Im still set on those Vredestiens tho.
 
nightriddah, what's your offset? Not thatI can give you a for sure answer, but someone else should be able to tell you if you post that information up.

My offset is 40mm. It's just a thought right now. Not sure I'll go through with it......
 
I don't see why that would be a big problem on 225's. I have a 42 offset on my 19's, with 245/40's. I'm dropping about 1.6+ inches here pretty soon. I don't anticipate any problems.

Gotcha. Throw up some pics when you do your drop if you don't mind....
 
Here is a pic of my old 02 camry with nitto 225/35/20 tires on 8.5 width wheel. The car was lowered 2 inches too. Let me say I could not have anyone ride in the rear... pointless and useless. But anyway gives you a idea of tire.

And heres a close up pic of the front tire, little more room to spare up there.

Thanks for the pics! I did decide with the 245/35/20 tire would be my best option.

Does anyone know if I can change the "center caps" once the wheels are on my car? I just ordered some new Lincoln caps (replacing the Jaguar caps), and don't want to take the wheels off once they are on.

Thanks!
