Upsizing tires for Gen2 rims

[Go-ran]

Hi all, I want to upsize the tires on the Gen2 rims to get a little bit more meat and Lower the car so i dont run into huge clearance issues.

I got gen2 rims for my gen 1 and these tire sizes just arent popular as everything is 19-21 these days for this width.

thanks for your time

I am selling multiple sets of rims and tires. But if you just want a cheap set of Gen 5 wheels, I have a set of 5 spokes. New, and newly powder coated.

You can't put 21" tires on 18" in wheels lol

not sure what youre asking here.

you want bigger tires but want to lower the car?

Because of availability issues and because id like to get a meatier tire on my gen2 rims if anyone has experience putting a for reference 275-40-18 instead of the 275-35-18 or 285 etc .

Im new to the brand so i dont even know where to go for this info.

Which tire brands sre most available for the gen2 5 spoke rims or is it necessary to upside to the gen3-4 rims specifically for the better tire choices.

Thanks
