Tires
What would be the best, and I mean maximum best possible tires for me to purchase. I've been looking at Yokohama, Pirelli, etc.
Was also wondering what our size coordinates are? I included some pictures here to make an example:
Notice here in the Dodge Magnum how the tire doesn't fill the whole wheel well.
And here:
And once again here:
Now some might say a good solution would be to lower the car. Well yes, in some situations that works great, but if you did it here, there would still be that space in the front and the back of the wheel well. Heres a picture of what I would like the car to look like:
As you may have noticed, the wheel takes up the entire well, left to right, and the top. Different car, but you get the point.
What I am mainly wondering is if this is possible with our cars. I'm assuming what I need to do is get a larger tire size. Would I sacrifice any performance here, or anything? I'm also assuming the tires are going to be wider as well, which is somewhat okay to me as long as it doesn't sacrifice performance. I just want a more mean look, you know what I mean?
What size tires do we currently have?
What size tires would I need to get to completely fill the well?
Hope the pictures helped any advice is welcomed.
