Re: Just the right tire size!
Picture shows fine, guys.
I think the extra meat on the sidewall is what you like so much about the look of that car. My guess is that is a 27" tall tire with car near standard ride height. Taller tire makes the car look lowered. Also rides better than the rubberband 35 aspect ratio tires people usually run with 18 inch wheels.
