need some advice on tires
Hi,
I'm currently in the process of getting new rims and need some help with tire sizes.
Rims: front 18x8.5 +38
Rear 18x9.5 +38
I did some looking around and research and figured 245 40 r18 for the front, and remember hearing someone say 265 35 r18 for the rear. I'm will be running powetrix coil overs with about 1.5 in drop. I'm not really good with tires, I know what each number refers to but not how each size would fit on the rim.
Thanks for any help

I think a 255/35R18 for the rear would be ideal. I have the same wheel size and offset but 245/40 profile tires, and this is what will look like(I don't have drop springs, but had two full grown adults in the rear, only an inch of hitting the stock bump stops). No fender roll and modifications on the rear fenders.
And this is what a 255/35 will look like on Tien S-tech drop springs.
