[QUOTE="justinschmidt1, post: 1124236, member: 8889"] a 275/35/18 is a 25.6 inch tall tire...stock tire height is 25.7 inch FYI. Our cars have huge amounts of fender gap in stock form and the ride gets rougher and rougher the lower you go to close the fender gap. [URL]http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html[/URL] That site will help you figure out tire heights. A 255/55/18 would be 29 inches tall...you dont want that. a 255/45/18 would be nice ay 27.0 You could just jump up to a 275/40/18?....that would be a 26.7 inch tall tire. Looks like they make all kinds of high performance tires in that size too Heres an example of a car with 27.3 and 27.0 tall in the front 295/40/18 on the rear and 255/45/18 on front [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/droptoppony/105_0517.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
