I've run them, brand new tires all four corners on the stock sawblade wheels. No tread roll in and no rubbing at all. If I'm correct, stock sawblades are 38MM offset. An 8" wide rim would be required with 45 aspect ratio tires, but regardless, this size rubber fits well up front, much larger than stock (see calculator for tire dimensions).
Punch these numbers into the calculator as "stock tire size" and compare them to 17, 18, 19 and 20" tire sizes. This will give you an accurate size for what will fit up front.
What I need to know is what is the biggest tire anyone's ever put under the rear of a stock MKIII? Size and offset please?
