Default Tire/wheel help

What would be the best tires to go with a set of 13x5.5 with about a 2" drop? I want to get the most "meaty" look without rubbing

Thanks in advance.

Most rubbing comes from wierd, or extremely high/low offsets mixed with soft suspension and/or not a lot of camber.

A 185/60 tire is probably pretty standard (albeit slightly wider than you would regularly put on a 5.5" wide wheel) but it'll give that meaty look you're after.

Hopefully someone is still here cuz I got another question lol. Those tires are gone and now I'm going to buy some enkei 92 15x6 with 195/50, those would work too right... Im just double checking myself so I don't do something stupid... Like buy wheels that are to big

Thanks again

That tire size will work fine with the width of those enkei's.

No problem.

The link below should help with comparing tire sizes to the original on your car. It will show you how off your speedometer is with a certain size as well as give you a general idea of what width of rim fits with what width of tire.
