yup, 245/40 is the ideal size, you can go to a 255/35 if you'd like but i wouldn't suggest it.

I'm trying the meat life. 245/35s

texasbound972 · 01-25-2015, 04:31 PM

255's or up is considered meaty.

^Really? I've quoted the first two sentences of the OP - which hasn't been updated since July 2014 - for you.

OH MAN - I DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT!?

boucher · 01-25-2015, 10:43 PM

Hmm. I suppose it could have been before then when I read it. I'll stand corrected. Sorry for completely offending you with my tire size. My bad.

275 meat being prepped this week.. My precious.

Maybe I should rename this to functional figment thread.

Car looks nice, but its more stance than anything, not meaty by any means.

I thought meaty meant running tires on the wider end of what is proper fit for a given rim size. So a 245 on a 7" wide wheel would apply but running a 245 on a 10" wheel would not.
