I just bought a set of 18x9 Rims and I need to get a set of tires.
I've been seeing most people using 265/35 or 245/40. My only concern is I have Steeda Sport Springs.

Suggestions on a correct tire Size???? Brands???

265/35 preferably, 255/35 at minimum to give some sort of wheel lip protection.

I have 245/40/18 up front and 285/35/18's out back and i have enough tire to protect the rim up front and the car handles great. BTW My car is VERY LOW with the sagging sportlines and i don't rub

I've got 18x9.5 and I'm running 275/35's all around. I get a little "tram lining" when I meet some ruts, so I think I'm going to down size a bit in the front (255-265's, havent really researched that yet) and go wider in the rear (295's maybe).

245 on a 9 " wheel will give you no rim protection.

I have 245/45 on 17 x 9 Cobra wheels, and the rim sticks out further than the tire.

Do yourself a favor and get 275/40 's

Thanks for the opinons guys. I am leaning toward 265/35/18. Seems like my best bet.

I am still unsure on what brand tire
