Default Re: Urgent - Wider Tire

Note that 235/40R18 and 285/35R19 is the absolute largest tire combination to be safely installed on OEM rims, sans fooling around with spacers. Any fatter up front and the tire will conflict with the control arm nut. Ouch. And it is not recommended that a rear tire wider than 285 be mounted on the OEM width rim. Even 285 is a bit of a stretch, so you may want to settle on 275.

Good luck and enjoy the ride.
Kane is absolutely right. Should be stickied, took me an hour or two to find this info.
