thanks nick, i usually explain this one.nickthegenius said:My 285/35s were $177/each and I didn't think that was too bad
Don't go with 275/40s. It'll look retarded and your speedo will be quite a ways off. Use the following calculator. Put your stock size (if you have 17's, thats 245/45R17s) and then punch in 275/40R18s into the other section. You'll find out that your new tires will be about 1" taller and your speedo will be off 3.8%.

When you get in to 18" you are talking more $$. So if your not ready to fork over the extra $$$ stick with the 17's...Your only talkng about a few extra dollars for a 285/35 instead of a 275/40....zcs626 said:285/35 are so expensive its rediculous. but im assuming this is the best setup for the wheel.
what about 275/40? any other suggestions and pics would be nice too. thanks
