super sports and 18" tires

[Ruckus46Gt]

I just got a pair of 18x9 white saleen replica's off ebay for 510 and I need to figure out what size tires to buy. I am installing everything at once(rims, gears,subframes, springs, shocks) and I dont want to have problems with rubbing with the drop. What would you say would be a good size or are you running?

bump anyone?

If you are asking about H&R SS springs and 18's, then what I have is 245/40R18 and 285/35R18 in the rear. No rubbing on either end.

Other than that, you could go 255/40 or 265/35 up front or 275/35 /275/40 or 285/35 out back.

I'd go 265/35 up front 285/35 out back.

If you want it to be as close as stock, get 275/35s all the way around. I am assuming the wheels are 9" and you want to be able to rotate them.

I have H&R Supersports with 265/35/18 up front and 295/35/18 out back and there's no rubbing what-so-ever.

That's what I would go with.....

for front, i say go with 265/35/18, and for rear 275/35/18. Or just go 265 or 275 all 4 corner. ietherway, nitto makes pretty reasonably priced tire for that size

265/35/18 front 285/35/8 back... wish I wouldve went 275s in the front and 295s in the back.... hard to find 295s though

265/35/18's will slightly rub on full lock turns (i have 18x9's with 265 in front).. I have 275/35/18 in back and they are as close are you can get to the stock tire diameter so you won't have any speedometer problems. 285/35/18 is fine for the rear but will slightly throw off your speedometer.
