I am going SC soon and my current tires wont get much grip. They are 205/45/17 I think. If it matters, I am on Konig Bumps, wheel size is 17x7. Im wondering what is the widest tire I can run without anything rubbing.

 

On a 7 inch wheel i wouldn't go any bigger than 225/45/17

 

Hmm alright thanks. I might have to get some new rims then because 225 would be a good step up, but I was looking for like 235 or 240 hopefully because traction will be a problem if im SC'ed.

 

You know stock s/c's only come with 215's.. As long as you can drive your car you should be good. A 235 is the biggest i would ever go in the cobalt, and even that's a pretty damn big tire..

 

Alright. I have an auto haha so not to hard to drive. The tires I have on now though are Kuhmo Ecsta ASX and people always say bad things about them but I'll see how they hold up when I go SC in a week or 2. My tires now are almost brand new so I guess I'll see how well they hold up.

 

i like kuhmo tires too, but check out goodyear eagle gt tires. kinda expensive but lots of grip

 

Lol nice! half the fun is burning them off! lol But yeah especially in an auto, I would say that 225's will be great for you.

 

Yeah im pumped about burning them down haha. Not pumped about being 17 and having to pay for everything myself lol.
