Bigger Tyres
Hey Guys, I am kinda sick of the harsh ride. Unfortunately Cali rodes suck. Can I put a bigger tire on the OEM wheels? I was thinking of a 55 or 60 series. Will I be rubbin anything? Anyone tried this yet? Thanks!

i live in Nor Cal, Bay Area. I drive 680 South every day and it sucks! The road is uneven and rocks everywhere. Would a 55 series tire look that bad? I might even consider getting 15 inch wheels. I don't particulary like bump ride cause it feel like my car is gonna break! LOL

I think the way to go would be a 15 or maybe even 14 inch wheel with a bigger tire. If you go to:
http://www.scirocco.org/ and click on tires, they have a cool calculator that lets you put in different wheel and tire size combos so you can figure out how to keep the total diameter the same. This way your speedo will still work.

And about what it looks, well at least not like a tractor with stock suspension
