Suspension geometry is set up with enough -camber that the wheel and tire travel in further during compression to maybe rub a little but never tear.

That I know of that is just a plain old 240. In canada username JVD on zilvia. his stretch is nicer 225/40 on an 18x10 but i seriously couldnt see going below a 235 on a rwd v8 car. These wheels are fail wheels the set i wasnt is $4500 so that will come in 2 years after i pay the car off. I wish i had an s-chassi so 18x9.5 could be semi badass instead of bland status
