Which Set of tires?

littlejuanito · 04-06-2017, 11:07 AM

I'm debating between two different sets of tires for my 18x9.5(F) & 18x11(R) wheels so if anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

I don't know if I should use 255/40/18 - 295/35/18 (26.0 & 26.1 diameter)

or 285/35/18 -295/35/18 tires (25.9 & 26.1 diameter)

Thanks.

You want to run a 285 up front?

Too much tire for a 9.5" wheel IMO

I agree. It's just a size that a fellow member is running, who also happens to have the exact rim's sizes.

I would prefer to run the 255/40/18 & 295/35/18 although Im wondering if the 40mm difference be an issue?

I would go with the 255/40 front setup for your specs. You will be 1/2" lower than factory based off tire diameter alone, so keep that in mind if you plan on lowering the car.
