What (tire) fits and what hits?

There's been a lot of discussion on tire sizes. What have you got for rubber? Any problems with clearances? Is your Vibe lowered? Help us chart the possibilities!

Hmmm, Stang2Vibe: Over 20 "tire kickers" (views) so far, but no posts! Maybe the first entry will be mine, if this $%%^White S**T every stops falling! (12" more forecast for tonight...)

Great, philndz; haven't heard of that size on a Vibe before! No rubbing issues then?

They are only a little wider than stock so they shouldn't rub anything. I think we were looking for people who have put substantially wider tires on their Vibe/Matrix and particularly those who have also lowered the car as well.

I'm thinkng about upgrading sotck wheels with some 17" and go with little wider tire. 225/45ZR17 will fit perfectly.

I've got 225/40ZR 18 on mine with no problem. I think they would still work with a 1 1/12 in to 2 in drop.

I would bet that they would too. I'm looking to go with 245/45/17's on about 8" wide rims with about a 2" drop. We were trying to see if anyone has already come close to these specs and still had no problems. MadBill is working on putting wheels and tires on his Vibe that are even wider than what I want.
