Wheel/tire size for wheel gap(stock)

Hi guys. Looking for recommendations on wheel and tire size to fill the most wheel gap without having to roll fenders,lower or camber. I just picked up a 07 coupe for daily driving and don't want to put much money into it.. I would however like the wheels to have a better appearance. I'm looking for recommendations on what size of wheel and tire to get in order to fill the gap the most without any further mods while also not taking my fender off when going over steep bumps.

Thanks.

Google a wheel/tire calculator. You will be raising the car attempting to fill the tire gap on a stock setup.

Measure your setup and the distance to the fenders. utilize the calculator to determine what size tires will fit.

One concern i had was when i talked to my local custom tire shop was they said if i do that and flush my wheels out that i will take my fender off potentially going over steep bumps due to the weight pushing the body down ontothe wheel.

They are correct. You need to consider compressed clearances when trying to eliminate tire gap, especially when the tires are fully turned. You can't have the tire flush with the fender with zero gap.

Best way to get the look I think you're going for is by putting 25mm spacers on back and 20mm spacers up front. It doesn't close the gap, but it flushes out your wheels and almost gives the illusion if it being lowered.
