Suspension? If by your avatar pic you dont look very low so Id think size isnt too much of an issue. if you are going to dump it or plan to Id guess 215/35 or 225/35 MAX.

Maybe check the Wheel/tire Sticky at the top and look for similar wheel sizes and drop that you have (or plan on)

Recommended tire size probably wont fit without rubbing with that offset and rim width. You are going to have to run a narrower tire with a stretch to clear and not rub most likely.

Go with a 40 series... 35 is just way too small and will look weird if you aren't low enough.

I'd say go 225/40 all around and you'll be set!

How low do you plan on going? If you planed to be dumped, go with a 215/40 front and a 225/40 rear. Smaller front so it'l be easier to turn

not really.. Just keep the tire pressure a t at least 38 psi. a 215 on a 8" rim and a 225 on a 9" isn't bad either. It'll barely be a stretch at all.
