Tire width sizes for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 wheels....

[Ramius83]

Alrightie, so I have just officially purchased a set of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 inch wheels for my S14. The fronts are a 25mm offset and the rears are a 30mm offset. Now, my next big decision is tire sizes.

I have been contemplating using a 235/40/18 for the fronts, and a 275/40/18 for the rears. Does this sound about right? I am trying to avoid putting too small of a tire on and having it looked "stretched" and I am trying to avoid an overly too wide tire. I know the 235s will be the right size for the front, but the rears are giving me the most fun. Anyone have any input on this? Thanks all.....

Oh, and don't worry about fender rolling/pulling, it has already been done.....

255/35 rear to keep diameters in check...but these widths yeah

Right Nismofly, I was assuming they were 17's without reading the thread carefully.

I'd go w/ 255/35 in the rear to match the 235/40 in front if you don't want too stretched or too wide.
