Default max tire sizing...SEARCHED

ive got a 94 hatch with LS meshies and was wondering what would be the widest tire size that will fit and not rub the side fenders. the car is dropped about 1.5" on skunk2 coilovers...

currently the tires that are on the LS wheels are 195/50/15...
im looking into maybe some 215/50/15 at the moment...a wider tire set for my b20 turbo setup...a little bit more traction, 195s dont seem to hold much

i have tried searching but cant find anything...help please

Or you could squeeze 16x7.5 and maybe 225s or something but thats alot. Just get some good sticky tires.

225/50/15 is going to be the absolute widest wihout having to mod the fenders or anything surrounding. I myself am actually having the same problem because I would like to go 15X8 or maybe 15X8.5....... try the Hankook Ventus R-S2 225/50/15 which is the same tire I was using.... Good luck
