Biggest tires that will fit with Eibach Sportlines?
Ok, it's time for some new tires, and I want to get something wider than the stock 245s. I've lowered the car 1.5 inches with Eibach Sportlines, and I'm wondering how big of a tire I can fit under the fender without them rubbing.

With my Sportlines,I'm running 275/40/17's without any fender rubbing. What size rims do you have and what is the backspacing,because that will play a factor in the biggest tire size you can go with without rubbing.

Right now I've got the stock 16" rims. Sometime soon I want to get some different rims, can't decide what I want yet. But for now I suppose a 275/45/16 would fit on the rim, and I could space them out if I needed to.

I don't see any problem with those size tires with the drop.But I'd hate for you to take my word for it and something not go exactly right.I would take it to a tire shop like Discount tires,NTB,or whatever reputable shops you have in your area and let them look at it.But,it does sound like they would fit with no problem.
