when i bought my MS6 they came with the car. so far they are equipped with an ugly pair of nankangs NsII 235/40R/18 and they rub when people sit in the back. anyone have an recommended tire size so i don't rub? also...they seem to be wearing out towards the outter part of the tire.. please help! :D also.. a good brand of tires that are good for the weather here on guam which is pretty much summer year round but also has a lot of rain as well so summer+ rain type.
here are some pics...

I'm running 225/40/18's on same size rims. I'm lowered and had to roll my fenders but as far as a tire goes the 235 is 10mm wider than a 225, and I'd go with Nitto Neo Gen or Hankook Ventus if you can afford them.

thank you!
 
i like my hankooks as far as rubbing goes just roll the fenders if u plan on doing any lowering im gunna be rolling all four of mine all the way in the next couple weeks to get ready for some lowering springs already got my spc ball joints just cant decide on springs
 
They more or less got it right on the money. I am lowered on H&R springs and have XXR 522 18x8.5 +30 offset. I used to rub like all hell until I got a fender roll in the rear. Once you do that, you should be good. As far as the wear on your tires, add some camber to your rear wheels, and buy some SPC Ball Joints - which I have some for sale, PM me if interested - and you can do the same for the front.
