do you have 18's?



if you can get 'em, get 'em. they'll fit an 18x9 rim perfectly on a lowered stang

I got 18x9 and 18x10's. I think I might have a problem with the fitment on the 10's and will the 285/30/18 fit under the front with the 18x9?

( I have a Vert lowered with some H&R SS's.)

Thanks.

i used to have 275/35/18 on my front...but i have 255's now. I think the 275 would rub now that its lowered.

My 285's are on a 9.5 in wheel, you should be ok but you could put on more tire in the rear with a 10 in wheel.

I'm lowered 2" f/r on 275/35's and 295/35's and haven't rubbed yet.

Has anyone ever runa 285/30/18 on an 18x9 inch wheel in the front without any problems? Mind you I have a 1.75 inch drop on a Vert?

I wouldn't put those on a 9" rim. Manufactur's recommended width is 10"-11" especially since it's a 30 series tire, not too much sidewall to work with. It will probably fit but wouldn't be optimum.
