I'm going to be getting new tires soon - I currently have 245/40/18 on the 18x8.5 rim. Is it possible to go to a 265/35/18 on the same 18x8.5 rim? I'm going to be getting Nitto NT555 Extremes if that helps. Thanks in advance!!

You could go 265/35/18 all around or 275/35/18 all around.. or like me, the 265's in front, and 275's in back

Thanks! I forgot to mention for the rear I have 18x9.5. Should I still go with the 275 or go with 285's again? or even 295

I would do the 285/35 rear and 265/35 front in that case

Sweet!! Thanks for the reply and helping make my decision.

Hmmmm.....I wonder if it would be worth it to get the DR for the rear.....would they somewhat match tread for the fronts - Nitto 555 and 555r?
