Actually, i did a calculation.
TLS weight 3500 pounds
Maximum weight with passengers : 4300
Weight distribution 62/38
Max weight on front tires = 62% * 4300 * 1/2 = 1333
Based on that 90 is probably enough. OEM 93 is MORE than enough.

88 is way too low -- period.
I did the math in an earlier thread, and with a bit of weight in the car, you would be well beyond the tires’ load capacity. Toss in some speed and heat, and kiss your ass
Definitly a recipe for 
music.If you do this, you might want to create a form for your passengers to sign before you drive them anywhere. ("Release from Liability Form”)

Same here but I think 88 is too low. I wouldn't chance it.
What tires are you looking at?

Looking into 225/40/18 Kumho 712's but the load rating is too low.
225/45/18 will probably rub on 18x7.5 +42 offset with comptech drop.
I may have to consider other wheels but I really love the Axis Se7en Mod!!!
