as said depends on height and how much trimming or arch work you want to do.

you can get 215's under there no problem with the right offset and minor arch work, if its not slammed, 225 if you take alot of the plastic kit away,i was going to go for 245's and 9's on my old 3dr, but never got round to it, had all the arch work done. i.e no plastic and no metal.
