What is the widest tire I can fit under my lowered P5?

[The Kid]

Hey guys,

I am just about ready to by a set of 17 inch Motegi SP10's and I was wondering what is the widest size tire that I can run. I am lowered on Tien S-techs if that makes a difference. I am assuming the tire size will be a 205, but I wanted to be completely sure before I buy tires and wheels.

Thanks,

The Kid​

215 or 225 for sure depends the offset and maybe some fender rolling

 

[Sir Nuke]

with the proper offset and no other fender mods....215

i have 225 with rolled fenders...cant go much wider

Thanks for all of the quick answers. i am going to look at the wheels tonight. knowing the correct offset for a 215/40/17 will really be helpful.

My goal is 245's, but maybe I'm a weirdo...

245 fit on 8" wide. you will probably need to pull fendre a little bit. at least roll.

245's are gonna be tough to fit on the P5, even with serious fender work.

who needs fenders, just take the fronts off and cut the rear quarters
your apparently tracking the car so appearance shouldnt matter
