Going to get some 162's. Can I put 8.5s all the way around if so what would be the best size tire (same all the way around) Could I put 255/35/18 It has stock susp. and always will. Thanks just dont want it to look stupid.

can do 8.5 all around. i dunno about 255 in front, 245 is possible if you don't drop(at least not in a major way). Sedans also have more room in the front, dunno if you have that or not.

My next set up is 19/8.5 square too, planning 235 since i'm going for a drop. The stretch of a 235 on a 8.5 is not too bad, but you can tell it's stretched. I seriously don't think you should do 255, 245 would be nice i think. But make sure you don't plan on drop if you that route, otherwise your limited in the drop
