[QUOTE="getTwisted, post: 14279626, member: 68618"] I'm sure you can get a taller tire on there without rubbing. I'm not exactly sure what size it would take. IMO if you go with a taller sidewall tire you are going to lose a ton or performance, especially in a curve. From the factory they will put the best size tire on the car for both reliability and performance. Another option to get a "rake" look is to just put a larger tire on the stock rear wheels, lets say a 315, and leave the front tires stock, then lower the car accordingly. You could lower the car 1" in the front and .5" in the rear. You can do this by cutting the stock springs and adjusting the ISO's. or buy H&R Race Springs and adjust with MM ISO's. here is a link to a guy that is running 315's on a stock rear wheel. This car does NOT have a "raked" look, it is just lowered on cut springs, you will just have to use your on imagination as to how much you will lower your car.
