guys i just got rims, will these tire sizes be ok ?

[ADRENLN]

from your experiance? do any of you have these?

front 8.5 in rim with 265/35/18

back 10 in. rim with 275/35/18

Your front tires should be fine but you back tires seem a little to narrow for the 10in. wheels. If I where you I would go 295 and up. That would look awesome from the back.

thanks for your reply man, i wanted a 285 or 295 for the back, but i had trouble finding those sizes and matching the stock diameter at the same time. also i did find some companies that made them but i was looking at spending 1000- 1200 bucks on tires. so i went smaller got all 5 tires for 550 dollars, but i too was concerned about the 275 on a 10 in. rim. it might not look the best but do u think it will be ok for now? thanks again guys.

285s on the back of mine and I love em... Nittos run a little wider than some brands though, so maybe 295 depending on which brand you go with.

ADRENLN, I went through my 275 on 10.5" wheels. It looked BAD but I never had a problem. You'll be okay for now but you'll definitely be looking forward to your next set.

In fact, it's the opposite. A 305 or 315 Nitto will have about the same width as a 295 BF or Bridgestone.

thanks guys for the advice and opinions, i will still take more if u have them anyway im stuck with the 275 for now i guess it will do, but u are right i will go bigger next time. i was just to poor after buying the wheels.

Does anyone have any pics of 10" wheels from the back?

 

[nickthegenius]

Do you already have your tires? My wheels aren't quite as wide, but I have 285/35R18 Sumitomo HTR ZII's on my 9.5" wide wheels and they are great. You can get them from tire rack and a lot of local tire shops can get them. Mine were $177 each which is pretty good for that big of a tire. I don't think I would get 275's on a wheel that wide. Again, my wheels are 9.5" and my 285's are a perfect fit. The tires look niether stretched (too narrow for the wheel) or puckered (too wide for the wheel).

285/35 isn't too far off the stock diameter.. otherwise you could look for a 305/30 but that would cost you

 

[ADRENLN]

yea guys i already got the 275 tires so i cant really change my mind now. i hope it dont look to bad. tire rack suggested this size on their site so i thought it would be ok. i was going to do 285/35 or 295/35 but the only tires that size i could finf that were that size were super expensive.

Your tire will look sucked in...

I have 285s on my 18x9 and they look perfect...

my 265s on the 18x9 fronts have a bit of a lip.. no biggie
