I'm currently running 275's in the back and 245's in the front. I have basic eBay wheels and don't recall the offset at this point, all I know is that they're 18's, 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. Car is lowered on H&R springs, no rubbing anywhere.
I hate the way the car looks with the wheels tucked in, spacers would be ideal but I rather just start over with new shoes. I have a few questions and don't know exactly where to find the answers;
1) How fat of a tire can I fit in the rear wheels (with no rubbing) if I go with a 9.5 versus a 9 or 8.5?
2) As for spacers, I could think about that after installing the wheels to determine how much i want them to stick out, but would it even be necessary with the Titan's?
3) I'm used to having 18 inch wheels, never ran 19's. Would this make the car seem a bit taller even though it's lowered?
Thanks for any info you can provide guys!

Hey Ross,
1. 275 on most tires. some tires are fatter than others so unless your pushing limits. Most 275 should fit. I don't see 5x120 having anything less then 9.5" wide for those wheels.
2. yes on the front with et35 on a 9.5" wide. My 9.5" wide needed a 5mm spacer to clear
3. So you want to run 19" or 18"? Visually you'll need to lower a 19" wheel more than 18" since the tire portion is shorter on the 19s.
hths,
