if you r referring to stock 16" wheels. 205/50/R16, can max it to 215/45/R16 without messing
the speedo.

i'm not bothered with the speedo thing. my fto is lowered but it sits high still and i had a feeling my profile of my tyre was making my car sit high

So you are not bothered by the incorrect speed reading and more concern about your ride height? Lol.....
Anyways if that's the case, drop the profile to 40.

thats what i was thinking. i've got a computer program that i plug into the car and my speedo is out anyways in a good way though. when i'm doing 100 on the speedo the computer is telling me i'm doing 90ish so yeah i'm pretty safe with changing profile or wheels

Relying on the speedo from gps is a good idea too. But it can be laggy

Mines about 7-8km out at free way speeds.
