Default The Right stance/stock height

I have an 02 WS6. Factory speed lines and factory height. I would prefer to leave the height where its at. Is there a good tire size that would fill in the gap between the wheel well and my rim? But at the same time remain level. Open to suggestion and pictures. Thank you in advance.

If you do nothing to the suspension and get a fatter (sidewall) tire to fill the wheel well gap, you are in turn going to effect the ride height and make the car higher. It's simple physics.

I agree. Also, you'll screw with the speedometer and driveline settings in the car's computer.

What MeenZ28 said. There's no way around it you'll have to the lower the car if you don't like the wheel gap
