Not the widest but they fill in the wheel arches pretty well.

The Edge Motorworks car is on KW V3 coils. Looks like wheels are +45 probably 17x9

Im going to assume they are 17x9 wheels since thats what a lot of you have with 255/40 tires. Is there a lot of rubbing and about how much camber is required to not rub? Also, I am not planning on getting coilovers so what springs do you guys recommend to achieve that drop with that setup?

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but I'm trying to figure out the best reasonably priced, gripiest, performance street tyres to fit the stock wheels.

I keep hearing Michellin Super Sport, but I still can't make up my mind.

Give people a little more time to respond, we dont all come on here everyday. But most will help when they do come online.

Anyway, You wont be disapointed in michelin pss if thats the route you do go. They really are a great tire. They are exceptionaly gripy and so far mine have lasted 8,000+ Miles of mixed highway and hard mountain twisties driving, plus god knows how many burnouts at work and still have TONS of tread left.

What springs are this car on? Looks like a great height with enough room to avoid rubbing.

Also DAN@AWD? Couldn't quote with your picture. but same question.

I'm on Hotchkiss springs. 1" drop all around. No rubbing anywhere. It's close to my front spring perch by mm's, but no issues. I have done a turn at full wheel lock without issue.
