that all depends. if have a tt and use your hicas steering. 8 inch wide i believe is max. and n/a or a hicas eliminator on a tt will allow you up to 10 inches depending on the offset for the rear. 9 i believe wood be max for the front.i'm running 81/2 and 91/2 on my na . keep in mind just half an inch could increase your tire costs as much as 100 dollars a tire more.

eliminating hican doesn't move the outer tie rod ends, you have as much room on either model and the TT came with 8.5 stock

bone stock you can run 9.5" wheels out back without an issue, I did it for years.

I run 9.5r/8.5f on my NA with 265/235's.

The tires don't cost THAT much more, maybe a 20-30$ difference over stock.

I wasn't aware HICAS reduced the available width of the tires? anybody have pictures of why this is?

I cant see why HICAS would affect tire size...

I have a set of kuhmo ecsta supra's (not my first choice -- would have been advans -- but I got them for a damn good price...) and they outperformed my expectations. Lots of grip and no noise at all -- I haven't had them for long enough to give an accurate tread wear judgement, but with my camber its hard to judge proper tread wear.

i have nitto neo gens and i love them i set a scca track record in my class on those tires and allmost everyone else was runnning 4 wheel slicks
