Unfortunately your very limited by rim width.

You will need to pick up a set of rims.

Decide if you want to go staggered or NOT.

10" all the way around... 11" ??

Most import thing is... do it correctly! Maintain as close to OEM offset. You want to keep to load centered.

dont play around with scrub radius.

Edit: Re read post, sounds like I don't like staggered, actually I do and how my car is setup.

Calipers on a V6 are smaller than the brembo's on a v8. On a V6, you can easily wear an 20x11" rim with the a good offset and throw some 315-325's on those rear bad boys.

I've got 315's on my 10.5" Niche Milan's. 0.5" = 12.7mm. 325's on an 11" rim is probably the maximum I would go.

You could get a 10" for the front with a good/right offset and go 275-305'. Stay staggered... nothing wrong with that.

Squaring up on 20x11" rims with 325's on all corners might prove difficult I think... especially on those with the brembo's. Would look crazy though lol

I think some of you are miss-reading the question, he wants to know what size tires not rims. It would be helpful to know what size rims do you have? I thought Canadians called them "Tyres"

"i just got back from doing service in Nam with Jim Carry.".....Please explain that one.

The base V6 has the 18x7.5" alloy wheel. Stock tires are P245 in width. So, I'm guessing a P255 would be the max you could go on a 55 series tire. The rims might look more sunken in with a wider tire like that though.

If you upgrade and stay with the stock 18" diameter. The F14's come in a 18x9.5" wheel which weigh only 18 lbs or so. That's even lighter than the stock wheels which weigh 23 lbs per wheel.
