Currently have a 15x8 rally with 275 60 15 tires…. Not lowered….

Want to update to an 18x8 rally, not sure I want to lower it still but was hoping the larger wheel would take up some space and she might sit a hair lower with the right tire combo…, what size tire would you think I could go with???? Because I like the width of the 275, just need to figure out the right height tire so I’m not showing too much space…. Help!

275/50 18 or 275/60 18 should give you the look you’re goin’ for. That combo would be very close to the Wheel/Tire diameter you have now.

The tire takes up the space, so big or small rim, doesn’t matter.
Use a tire size guide online to compare different widths and aspect ratios to your current size.
