Default Tire Sizes for CupII in the front.

Does anyone have 235 or larger on their Cup II with the ride height lowered? And if so any rub issues?

Dear Serio Bros.-

Joe-
I think most people have had issues when they go up to 245's. But if you're running a 7" rim, I don't think you can put anything wider than a 225. Check with the tire maker to be sure. On my BF Goodrich G-Farce Sports, the 235/45-17's are rated at 7.5" rim.

Ron-
Have you found your GTS yet? What's the hold up dude? You still list your white S4 for sale - didn't you already sell it?

Andrew . . 2 down & 1 to go. I'm probably going your route by way of the GT. 89MY preferred. We'll see what happens.

I have 235 up front on cups and cup2's also. Work fine. Rubbing will absolutely ensue if you lower. Watch that fender lip as you corner hard and the tyre grabs the lip and bends it outward ....

Rather stay safe with the 225's. Still better then these horse **** 215's. I'll just have to bonsai a little less.

Bro, you get a GT and I'm coming to house you... Make the train wreck complete and get it in Blue. Then my state of mind will be all out of whack.

I wouldn't get a blue GT now would I?

Ron-

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. BTW, there's a guy in NJ trying to sell his 91 GT on EBAY. It's a salvage title. Stay away.
