    Question 225/45/18 blizzaks... too tall?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    On an 18x8 et35 wheel. Overall diameter is increased by about 4%. Obviously the speedo will be off, but I'm not too concerned about that. More worried about whether or not I'll have any clearance issues with control arms, liners, etc

    Right now I'm dropped 24" GTF, rolled fenders, and trimmed liners... but still, not sure if it'll clear with such a tall tire.

    probably will rub. then again, why would u drive so low in snow? scratching bumper and bottom of the car on frozen chunks of snow. raise it to 25"-25.5", then u be fine.

    Sorry for the confusion, I forgot to mention that I will be raising the car for the winter.

    I would say with 25" GTF you will be perfectly fine. That's my summer height haha...
