Wider tyres

[Big Russ]

What is the maximum width of tyre i can put on my monaro vxr. Its got standard 19" wheels on and therefore hasn't been lowered or had the arches rolled.
Nearly ready for some new rear rubber so i just wondered if i could put wider tyres on without any problems.
Many thanks

If your not changing the alloys then stick with stock width unless you want to upset the handling. Fat tyres on skinney alloys simply do not work, you can go up a size or so but you wont really see any noticable difference as the side walls will get pulled back in by the alloys so it pointless, IMHO of course.

If you want to go wider alloys then thats a whole different ball park!

roger knows about going wide in a bid to meet the grip levels afforded to us taxi drivers
