Greetings everyone.

325/25-21 would be an equivalent diameter to stock. With the profile of 30 your tire is 1.5" taller than factory - throwing your speedo off by 5%

I tried and tire rubs with the fender liner on top and the front. My car is lowered, but even if yours isn't lowered, tire touches the fender liner in the front. 325 25 21 works perfectly.

Took this pic while it was on the jack , so not a good representation, but it literally is always touching the fender.
