What is a good tire size recomendation for 18x9/10 wheel. I will definitely be using 285/35 for the rear because I allready have those. Would a 255/40 or a 265/35 be a better match, or any other size for the front?

I have looked at this tire size calculator.
http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

It seems like the 255/40 is closer to the same sidewall of the 285's, allthough that size doesn't seem that popular. I just dont want a noticable larger sidewall for either the front or the rear. What would you guys recomend and post pics if you got them.

Thx darkhorse, setup looks good. You are the reason that has me second guessing my front tire decision. It seems like you have a more raked stance than I do so I'm still not sure hmm.

Click to expand...

(usually) fronts are bigger then the back, denoting tires size, although the wheel width is usually wider as well. Can also mean same tires sizes and something like a 18" front wheel and a 19" rear wheel
