So I am looking at the tires that I have on my car the other day thinking they were 235/40 17s cas my brother said that one of them looked wider than the other. I go look at the sizes on the side of them and I will be damned they are 255/40-17s. I scratch my head and go inside and go look up what the B15 people say is the biggest and widest tire you should be able to fit on the car. The B15 people say that the widest tire they were able to squeeze in there is a 235...well I disagree cas I am not scrubbing rubbing or having anything of the sort going on with my tires and they are 255 and they dont stick out past the fender.

Either I am a dumbass or they are dumbasses...

Could depend on your setup maybe and what wheels are you using, diff wheels and diff offsets...

This is using the stock wheels on same cars though...

It confuses me...

I love the 255 rather than the 215 though :D

I know I was carving up a back road and acspected to slid alil bit going through a turn and almost ran off the road cas it stuck...

When I launch not I barely get any wheel spin and with those 215s I would spin all the way through 1st and half way through 2nd...and lets not talking about rain...cas I didnt get traction til about mid way through 3rd...lol
