hey guys i have a 1990 gsx and was planning on running 16x7in wheels with a +35mm offset. What would be the max tire size i could possibly run. The car has eibach springs ikts lowered probably about 1.5in if that...i have stock 16's on it right now and there no where close to rubbing and there 225/50's thanks guys
 
Unless your plus sizing your wheels, you could go huge. Like small truck size.
No point in making any more diameter out of the tire height unless your rock crawling, right?

What do you plan on doing with the car? freeway cruiser or strip trailer queen... that's the real question
 
235s on a 7 inch rim, 225s are ideal but you can fit 235s on there but I think you'll be pushing it. I'm running 17x8 +35 (evo 8 rim) with 245/45/17s all around and I rub a little bit due to the fact that my front shocks are blown and I'm running a slightly oversized tire (should be 245/40/17). The rears dont seem to be close to rubbing at all.
