How thick can a tire be?

[Karma_hunden]

How fat can you go with aftermarket tires on a MSP6? I heard it was only 8, maybe 8.5. The MSP6 looks like it can take more than that.

I am planning on buying 18x8 rims...but if i can go thicker, then better.

The widest I have read and seen is 235/40x18 on RX8 wheels, which are 18x8 with a 50 et offset. But there are some guys with the same wheel but rubbing on the rears without any fender lip roll. Then there are others who don't rub on the rear without any roll. It will depend on the profile of the tire. The guys who did not rub where running Falkens, which have a slightly more rounded profile.

I am currently using the RX8 wheels on my MS6, but using the stock 215/45 x 18 Bridgestones right now.
