Are these tire sizes ok????

eliteJAE · Mar 4, 2009

I got a great offer for (2) 295/30/18's and (2) 265/35/18's, the 295's are michelin pilot sports, and the fronts are pirellis, are these tires sizes ok for a set of 18x9/10 fr500's? As in do they look ok with those sizes? its a REALLY good deal so I dont want to pass it up just because theyre 295/30's instead of 295/35's

the 295/30/18 are about 0.5" smaller in diameter compared to stock tire diameter.

anyone?

I get 25.68 inches for 245-45-17 and 24.97 inches for 295-30-18. What rear end gear do you have?

Stock 3.27

well what exactly are you looking for in an answer? you seem to ignore mine which i gave you a tire size comparison.

the front sizes are OK, the backs are a bit small. Speedo will be affected but not by much.

eliteJAE · Mar 4, 2009

I didn't mean to ignore you man, I took your answer in consideration, I just wanted to see if anyone actually had the tires and had personal experience

Youre right it does differ by .5 from the stocker, and I don't care about the speedo varying I just wanted to see if it wasn't so small it would look bad once it's on ya know?

Screw it I think I'm jut gonna buy them, they're a couple of Michelin ps2 and a couple of pirelli assimetricos for 150, and the ps2s are 90% and the pirellis 70%.

the 295/30'swill looks too small on the rear IMO

eliteJAE · Mar 4, 2009

Yea I figure they will, but I need tires at this point to switch out my old rims, they're wearing incredibly chitty on the inside so I need to install c/c plates, and replace the tires before they pop, which makes no sense since I have a brand new set of rims waiting lol I just seem to find any 295/35's :/

295/30's would not only look small, but your ride quality would suffer with that...

eliteJAE · Mar 5, 2009

Are they really that much smaller? Ride quality = very little to be appreciated in my car because it's really low anways so that's not a concern.

I keep on seeing that mr21psi has the same size tire for his rears, and his look sick

I wonder where he's at so I can ask him if he really has em lol....

Stan Weiss · Mar 5, 2009

Just put the tire next to your car and see for yourself. If your car has been lowered than they will be fine.
Ride quality can be helped by air pressure adjustments

My car is in AZ, I'm in NorCal and the guy selling them to me is here in Norcal as well

That's why I'm asking you guys because I figured y'all would know from seeing other cars because I can't compare onto my car here.

If you're slamming it, 30 would look better. If not, 35 would be better.

Are these tire sizes ok????
