Looks like other guys have fit 25.9'' tires in there without significant mods...

I am lowered on kw v3s, and have a 8.5 inch rim up front with et 48. tire diameter is 25.9''. Anyone have any insight?

i run a 255/35 up front, but on a 9.5" wide wheel

I am most likely going to run a 255/40 when I get new tires in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm a little nervous about the height since i'm very low

255/35 shouldnt be an issue cause the hight is lower than a 245/40.
255/40 wont work i guess.
