hey guys i have a 93 notch. i want to go with some wider tires in the rear, but im not sure what the widest i could go for right now without any modifications. it has 245/45/18 all around on cobras. What could be a next step wider?

Thanks guys for your input in advance....

+1.
Is it lowered?
Or do u carry passengers alot/ carry alot of weight in the back

not lowered at all actually its lifted a little bit, it got sum spacers in between the coils to fit the 45 series in without rubbing...i only did that because some one gave me those tires brand new and only way to fit was to lift the car a little bit...
And i never drive with no passengers at all or got any weight in the back

The tire wont look funny because the side wall would be 35 series? Like smaller than the front
Sorry for all the questions....

No , the height of a 35 series tire wont affect the ride height . Id recommend 275/35/18 or some 285/35/18 inch tires if your rims are 18x9 or better

this all depends on what size wheel and what length axles you have.

in the front 255/35 and 275/35 or 285/35 for a lil more meat in the rear. lower it 1-1.5" or so to give it a good stance.
