yes, 215 is basically the width. it all depends on the size of the sc rim... sometimes if you have 8" wide rims you can go up to 275 but the aspect ratio has to be like 50 or 55 but with a 245 you can have a low pro (35-45ish) aspect ratio.
anyone here to help this man better... im unsure of the sc rim width or i could explain better and what is the max size tire you can put on a balt before itll scrape the fender well? me and Dead Zen formally 06lasersss/c were wondering this
and ur from elizabeth, ever venture towards irwin?

well im not positive, but it depends on the width of ur rim... let me know what the width is and i can give you a list of tires that will fit
If you want to run 18-inch wheels:
* For 35-series tires, you will want a tire that is 250 mm wide
* For 40-series tires, you will want a tire that is 218 mm wide
* For 45-series tires, you will want a tire that is 194 mm wide
* For 50-series tires, you will want a tire that is 175 mm wide
* For 55-series tires, you will want a tire that is 159 mm wide
* For 60-series tires, you will want a tire that is 146 mm wide
* For 65-series tires, you will want a tire that is 134 mm wide
* For 70-series tires, you will want a tire that is 125 mm wide
* For 75-series tires, you will want a tire that is 116 mm wide
* For 80-series tires, you will want a tire that is 109 mm wide
* For 85-series tires, you will want a tire that is 103 mm wide
* For 90-series tires, you will want a tire that is 97 mm wide
this is a basic but what is the size of the ss/sc rim width?
