Maximum overall tire + wheel diameter on stock suspension

[SeanMcc23]

Hello. My fl5 just recently touched down in the united states. I await delivery. I have already bought 2019 honda pilot wheels. Wheels are 18x8, same bolt pattern and hub bore. I believe offset to be +55. What is the tallest overall setup you guys have seen on a ctr? I will daily this in the winter. I am looking into the bridestone blizzak tires as i get decent snow around me. I am considering 235/245 width and 40-50 aspect ratio. Tire rack has a closeout sale on 245/50/18. theyre 100$ a pop which is 150$ cheaper (per) than the 40/45 aspect ration tires. This 245/50/18 will be around 2 inches taller than the stock tire setup. I have seen multiple fk8s running and setup with overall height of 26.8. Any info would be appreciated. No fl5s in my area so i cant inspect a car up close and personal until mine arrives in a couple of weeks. Thank you all for your time

I'm on 275/35/19 with stock suspension and have plenty of clearance at 26.6in tire height. Just waiting on my 15mm spacers to finally get here so I don't look so tucked in.

I run 255/40R18 and love it. I wouldn't go much taller than that.

Did you ever get the spacers for this setup? Any issues with it if you did?

So, did you ever install those Pilot 18 x 8" wheels? What tire size you get?
I'll be disappointed to see anything smaller than a 255/50 R 18 on them bad boys.

Photos, please!

245/50/18. no rub not in full turn not even n the backroads. gained ~3 inches of ride height. was able to take 6 inches of snow np i drove this baby all winter long. Dont hate the steels too much it was 50$ for 4 wheels and the blozzak snow tores were closeout sale 97$ a piece.
