18x9 03 cobras, need tires

[BlkDragon]

I need rubber for my 18x9s, what do you guys suggest. I'm thinking 275/35 but I figured I'd ask first...On a side, I bought them used so I what to clean them up before I get the tires mounted. I've never had polished rims before, is there a secret to cleaning? I'm going with soap/water and a few coats of zaino..Thanks in advance.

275/35/18s are a good size. You could put 265's up front or 285's in the back but then you wouldn't be able to rotate them.

Thanks for the input. Bump.

Don't go smaller than 265's up front. I have 245/40's and they provide no protection for my rims. 275's all around would look nice.

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go 275s all around. I just wanted some extra input to be sure.

I use Zymol car wax on my rims. I would recommned going 265/35/18 in front vs. 275/35 because even with the 265/35's i get some rubbing on full lock turns, no big deal, but 275's would be slightly worse. Rears fit 275/35 very nicely

Great looking car. I'll look into the 265s, rotating my tires isn't a huge concern. Maybe I'll go 265s in front 285s in back.

I'll give zymol a shot. What type of finish do you have on your rims?

I have the machined aluminum finish with silver cutouts. They are shinier in person.. the one pic on my site of the rear wheel kinda shows it

I went 265/35/18 front and 275/35/18 back all on 18X9's. Happy with the front but should have went 285 in back.

Right on. I 99% sure I'm going w/ 265's in front and 285's in back. Thanks.
