Currently have 245/40Z R18 tires. They're in need of replacing soon, and id love to be able to stick some thicker tires on for looks. 245/50 or 60. Obviously every chart on the internet is telling me this isnt possible and so are my fingers (only one fits between the tire and upper control arm on the fronts!
Is it possible to get bigger tires, my main thought would be getting spacers, since it should then clear the upper control arm, and i think thats the only thing in the way, am i wrong?
What about stretching a narrower set too so the walls are slanted, this would give me more clearance (but yes i know, less ground contact - less grip).
Any other options?
Thanks
