What’s the widest tire you can put on a sho without modifying anything ?

I think 10.5 is the widest any here has, I'm at 9.5 myself and there's not much room left.

Plenty of guys are putting 275 40 20s on the stock flowers. Not sure you want to try and get away with that on the 19s though with the increased sidewall. I myself run 255 45 20s. The 275 felt great at the track, but felt shifty in hard cornering. Hope this helps!

What do you think about 265 45 19s ? I’m not going to be tracking this car just want to put more power on the ground. Plus i plan to put lower spring on it eventually

They definitely will work with stock springs.

But they are a bit taller as you can see. Not sure the exact effect it would have with lowering springs. Not exactly sure of the width of wheel for the stock 19" SHO wheel either, but if it happens to be 8.5" wide, you can probably do 275 40 19 with the lowering springs as long as the stock 19" wheel has enough offset. The 275 40 19 will be just a bit smaller than stock, leaving plenty of clearance that way, while also adding the extra width and shorter sidewall, and very minimally giving you a smaller rotational mass, though the weight will probably be pretty equal, maybe a pound or so heavier at each corner.
