Default Who has the widest rim and tire on an RD?

Anyone rollin on 9", 10", or 11" rims? The widest I have ever seen on these forums are 8" so wondering if I missed anything with someone going bigger.

Why would you need larger than a 8 you can easily fit a 245 on that

I fit those on an LC2 Accent with no rubbing.



Put on 225/45/15's yesterday for a test fit. They're Toyo R1R's, so a lot wider than 225 in reality, closer to 245. Fit, no rubbing.

225/45x17 with an 8.5 in rim, i just did the BBK upgrade and the rotor is like 3-5mm thicker at the hub and i started rubbing, when i hit the bumps, so i just downsized to 225/35x17, also im dropped with eibachs so that didnt help much.



so right now i have 35s up front and 45s in the back... the incline of the car has the alignment all jacked up... gonna have it aligned this week... i dont like the look of the thicker tires in the back... but thats what im stuck with right now...
