quick question for all you with 18"

[Night Shifter]

ever since i began my quest for new wheels i was set on staying with 17's...so i did all my research and figured out what tire size i was going to get for them...well plans changed and im stepping up to 18's so i was wondering will a 275/40/18 in the Front and 305/35/18 be a good size to go with?

i was going to do the same size in 17 but since im upping to 18's i didnt know if that would pose a problem...i used search but was coming across 17" sizes...im kind of torn between 295's or 305's for the rear

im just not sure what the best size for the front would be on an 18" rim

 

[Kilgore Trout]

staggered is more expensive 18s are also no way would I sign up for that

 

[Night Shifter]

thats why i was staying with 17's but at 60 bucks a peice for each rim brand new i figured f it

 

[SteedaGT9150]

i would go 265 in the front.

I have the 18x9/10 FR500's and actually run a 245 40R18 up front. Looks good to me and they are much less expensive compared to the 265 35's. I also think the 265 35's don't look right... not enough sidewall perhaps

I loooooooooooooove the way the 18's fill out the fenders. Just wish my rears didnt rub

 

[XxMustang281xX]

i have 18x9 up front with a 265 and 18x10.5 in the rear with 315's. I love them and couldnt be happier

 

[Night Shifter]

Moar pictures......dang your car is one sexy beast.

 

[EPIK]

265/35/18 up front & 295/53/18 rear fit perfect IMO... No stretch & no bulge. What brand tire you go with will also effect the fitment & the look as well. If you go with a nice domestic brand tire like a Goodyear, or BFG, they will be a tad wider than an import tire like Nitto, or Sumitomo.

 

[Night Shifter]

i forgot you had 18's epik....now im more excited to get them...i think ill be going 265's up front from what you all have been showing me.. thanks guys!

oh, another probably newb question...is my car height going to raise any with 18s or will the tire size equal the height out?

265/35/18 up front & 295/53/18 rear fit perfect IMO... No stretch & no bulge.

100% with Epic. I had 265s up front and now I have 275s. The 265s were better, thats what I'll do next time. 295s on 18x10s out back is perfect.

I recommend BFG KDW2s. Best tire I have ever owned. They crap all over the Pilot Sports I had before.

 

[fiveoho]

265/35/18 & 295/35/18 General Exclaim UHP tires
18x9 & 18x10s
H&R SS springs
ES isolators in the rear. no isolators in the front.

i HIGHLY recommend these tires. budget friendly and excellent manners.

 

[Night Shifter]

damn that car looks good

 

[mazen189]

i run 245/40 by 18 up front. I think i'm the only guy around here who does. If you can look up any old threads you can check it out. I'm not at home, so, i'm kinda lazy to get a hold of them.

 

[Night Shifter]

does it matter that i auto x the car and run open track events too? should i go with a defferent size? i drive the car to work and to the track but thats about it so im not too worried about sizes not being good for a dd

 

[mustang50v8]

i run a 275 35 18 nitto nt555 up front and a 295 35 18 KDWII out back.

sorry if the pic is a bit big.
