    Might not seem like much, but on a small car - 235-40/17 slicks (which we all know run wider, so more like a 245-40/17).





    But there are some guys running 275-35/15s on Miatas...

    Yoko AD08 tires which run quite a bit wider than the sizes indicate, an AD08 in 275 is wider than a Nitto or PS2 285

    Could fit a 295/30 in rear but I am already pretty aggressive at +15. It's my daily driver, I can't make it totally unpractical. I could also fit a 265/30 in front but thin/stiff sidewalls in front make the ride harsher and more skittish on rough roads.





    love that m3.

    that's a common practice in the v8 world.
