What tires are you running?? That's really weird. Maybe its the brand or tread design?

federal 595s 245/45/18. theyre cheap and get the job done. no complaints after 30,000 miles. they were a huge improvement over the rsas.

Thats weird. I dont see why its any different from the Imp or GXP as for spacing. Especially since I'm running 255s with more room it seems

TheMonteMan

idk. it looks a little tighter than 1-2in in your pic. were talking about 10mms here so going by a pic and what i remember probably isnt the most accurate way to make the comparison. ive also heard of ppl with the 6th gen montes putting the 7th gen wheels on them and rubbing the rear struts. so who knows. if it ever stops raining out here ill take a look. perhaps i was wrong about how close it is on my car.

have you tried to put the 8" wheel in the back with the 255s? i know ppl do it with the gxps, but im curious how they would fit on the monte/imp.

oh and im talking about the top of the strut to the sidewall/top edge of the tire. not the strut to the sidewall.

07BlackSS

No i havent tried the wider on the rear. Much rather have the woder rim up front being fwd

You don't want to run 255 on the 7s they wear uneven n very fast

07BlackSS

When I traded the guy, that's ehat he had on them....and they need replaced. What's the widest you can go? A 245??

PurpleHaze9414

those call for 225 50 18 there acutally not to badly priced

TheMonteMan

i get that i was curious how the 8s fit in the back with the 255s because i wanted to run all 4 8" alcoas with the 255s.

07BlackSS

Ah. I see. Gotcha. Yeah not sure how the 8s would fit tho. Would be nice to have 8s all around.
