265 and they will only rub over train tracks and what not. 275 and you should likely have to roll the fenders. Nice wheels btw.

just so you know.. avs100's have the widest thread width of any brand of its size... by a lot too, probably half an inch more than the typical 275's, you can check tire rack for the specs.



and as for rolling the fenders i must have gained 2 inches from the stock lip to where it is now when i rolled the fenders

Good info - thanks Martin. I didn't look too much into the specs; honestly didn't think there was much difference. Guess I learned!

did i miss what size those are? they look to be tipping into the rim as it is (sec width greater than rim width) going a bit narrower would not be a bad thing

What ride height is that set at BTW? Looks like about 26" to the wheel arch from the floor?
