Wider tires?

Last update on my attempts while I await a tire change to do wheels in the future: fronts pushed out .375” (~9.5mm) using spacers from BORA. So + 0.375” front, + 1.25” rear on OEM 2025 ST wheels and tires. Ride and handling are great, did the Steeda sway bar and end links too.

I need to take pictures but it looks like I wanted — minimal body overhang.

I know I know. But it’s temporary and is working well for now!

good evening all,
Doing some late night shopping and getting ready to order some 22x10.5 +30 Savini Di Forza rims, (thank you Unbroken for the research on correct fitment)! Question is will a 305 40 22 work or should i stick to a 35 series? Sitting on Eibachs after the difficulties with the Steeda springs. I live in rural Missouri so road quality is sometimes an issue. Thanks all in advance

Eibachs sit pretty low. I’d run the 35 series with those springs. The 40 will almost certainly rub.

Thank you! You are exactly the person I was hoping to respond. Regarding the Eibachs, have you tried them? I'm on the fence about ordering a set of H&R's, but I've run the gamut of springs and dont know if the juice is worth the squeeze? They Eibachs do sit lower than I'd like and there's no rake to the stance. Thoughts? Are the H7R's the correct answer? Can you send a link to your post regarding your build with pics or point me in the right direction please? thank you
