that will essentially make your overall tire diameter 4 inches bigger than stock.....are you serious?

Ok let me put it like this 1st whats your stock wheel and tire size 2nd what you need to do to keep the same overall diameter is for every size wider you need to drop one size on the height of the tire for instence if you have a 195/65/15 and want to go wider there widest you could go on a 15 x 8 is 255/30/15 try and find that if its made you would have to pay out your *** for it . go with a 235/55 its wide enuff for what you have .
