Mod Edit:
Off topic. Not sure why you figured the "will it fit" thread in the wheels tires brakes suspension subforum would be referring to engine fitment. Please head over to the new member subforum. -RIWWP |
255/35/18s on stock rims? I can get a set super cheap! And I plan to get 9.5" wide wheels in the next 3 months, but want to run the 255's on my stockers until then. thanks

anyone?

Have you thought about looking up the tires and seeing what the manufacturer recommends regarding wheel width?

With my 18x9.5" +45 rims and 25mm spacers, I'm currently not rubbing at all in the rear with 235/40/18's, could I move to 265/30/18's without rubbing? This site makes it seem like I can because of the significantly reduced height to counteract the increased width, but I'm not sure. Maybe 255's?

18x8.5 35mm offset.
To make it flush, will i need spacers? |

As long as you discount the fact that tires aren't really made in a 265/30 and go with a 265/35 like others have done. It's still an oddball size and a little expensive.

so noone can tell me if 255/35s will fit on stock rims?

255/35 will fit stock wheels just fine and will be more suitable on 9.5" wheel. Downside is how much smaller the diameter of the tires are going to be... It's going to look real tacky unless you plan on lowering the car.

Well expect even more gap and the car to be lower to the ground.

Hello all,
I need some help deciding on new tire size(s). First of all, some background: When I bought my car, it had the current aftermarket wheels and crappy tires on it. They are a staggered setup: Front Wheels: PIAA Sport Mesh 18x8.5 +42, 26.0 lbs Rear Wheels: PIAA Sport Mesh 18x9.5 +38, 29.0 lbs Front Tires: Fuzion UHP 225/40/R18 (8.86" wide, 3.54" sidewall) Rear Tires: Fuzion UHP 245/40/R18 (9.65" wide, 3.86" sidewall) Remember, I had no part in deciding what wheels and tires were fitted, so you're preaching to the choir. The problem I have is weak dry weather grip and almost no wet traction. I'm pretty sure it is mostly to do with the fact that these are bottom-of-the-barrel tires with crappy stretched fitment. Well, with winter approaching, I need to get some decent tires on this car. Given the wheels I have (buying new wheels is out of the question at this point), I'm considering these tire sizes: Front & Rear: 255/40/R18 (10.04" wide, 4.02" sidewall) Or Front: 245/40/R18 (9.65" wide, 3.86" sidewall) Rear: 275/35/R18 (10.83" wide, 3.79" sidewall) I'm pretty settled on Continental ExtremeContact DWS as the tire choice. But I can't decide between a square setup at near OEM diameter with the fronts being slightly bulged and the rears being slightly stretched. Or a staggered setup with matched sizes. Thoughts? Thanks, Bryan |
I'd go with the 245/275 option.

It's just how Continental made their tires to have thick thread blocks on the shoulders. I had a DUNLOP DZ101 in 255/40 and I didn't have rubbing, only when I had the ContiSports the tires rubbed. |
Continental tires are definitely wider than stated size.

work meister s1r
Hi I am after an aggressive fit of these work meister s1r 19's rims and want to be close to flush. I also want as much dish as possible. Not a fan of running with alot of camber but a little is ok.
I wil be fitting coilovers and will roll the guards. I have been given two options from the distributor so far. option 1. 19 x 9 +18 (95mm dish) , 19 x 10 +18 (108mm dish) and I was thinking with 245/35 and 265/35 tires option 2. 19x8.5 +32 (75mm dish) and 19x9.5 +38 (81mm dish) with 235/35 and 265/35 tires any help on this would be much appreciated:uhh: |
You could get option 2 to fit..... ;-)
|
Option 1 is possible but far from plug and play
|
Thanks for the first-hand feedback, guys.
