Question 235-50-16...can they fit?
I know people can run 225's with out a problem and I believe I have heard of xD owners running 245's with fender lip rolling. Could some 235's fit with after-market rims without modifications being performed and could the car still be lowered?

I'd run stock height if I have to, and not sure about rim specs...whatever will fit without rubbing.

The lowest spring you can prolly run are on tanabe nf springs or trd with the 1.5" drop .. anymore than that could cause rubbing issues

Not bad, like I said if I have to I will leave it stock height. Their are some 16X7 rims I really like right now but I doubt the backspacing will work with those size tires.

on tanabe or TRD drop? this is really good information though for chris, good to know some are running an aggressive tire like that without rubbing.

ive been thorugh 3 diff setups so far but nothing quite like a 245.

15x6.5 +42 w/ 225/50/15s no rubbing slammed on coils.
16x7 +35 w/ 205/55/16 rubbing on hard turns slammed on coils,
17x9.5 +30 w/ 215/45/17 rubbin like crazy before fender roll slammed on coils.

also chris what kind of rims are you lookin at , i happen to have my 16x7 +35 OZ ultralagerra's (black) sitting around at my house. If thats something youd be interested in pm me, ill cut you a hella deal since youre local
