What size tire is recommended?

Hi Guys,

I own a 96 turbo recently purchased BBS Lm wheels.
My question here is what tire size is recommended on 18x11 rear wheels.
will the 285/30/18 be to much of a stretch from the Oem 18x10 wheels.

What size is best?

Thanks

Hey there .. you may get lucky and some one here may actually know ... my best guess for you would be to go to tire rack and check with them or hit the dealership .. they should be able to tell you ... for us here 17" wheels are minimum of a +1 or +2 from our stock sizes ...up to a +3

Sorry if not much Help ..

Steve

Unless your car has been converted to 2WD, you really need to pay VERY close attention to tire diameters, front & rear and maintain the factory differences. A 305/30 is a better fit on an 11" rear wheels, however you need a matching diameter tire for the front to maintain the same proportions.

Failure to do so will result in CE issues as well as a ruined viscous coupler inside the transmission.
