Max tire width for 86 NA
Im going tire shopping this week, and who better to ask then the experts. So here goes, what is the thickest i can go in the fc without sacrificing perofrmance. IN other words, add looks and traction but not lose power and handling. Please gimme some feedback. Also, what brands, and exact sizes, Im keeping the stock 15 rims that the fc gxl brings. Thanks

I ran a 225/50 on my stock GXL rims, but 205s are a better fit.
