What size tire on a 18" rim

[rustang94]

I have 18x9 and 18x10 inch rims on the way what size tire should I use? I'm not looking to get the widest just some thing that looks good in the fender. The car is not lowered yet but will be going to a 1.5" drop

Thanks

do you need wheel spacers to fit 295's on the back?

 

[Labora]

No. Mine fit without any problems at all.

265/35/18 and 295/35/18 FOR SURE. Lower profile tires look badass on our cars. I don't like the bigger sidewalls.

I'm running that same combo with 285 out back and 255 out front, but I've got 18X8 and 18X9. Good luck!

depending on what rim you got the backspacing and 265's will stick out the fenderwell in the front

For 18" 275/35/18 295/35/18 Is The Way I Would Go..

I Run 315/35/17 335/35/17 On The Cobra.. Then Again Fronts Flared And Rear Flared And Mini Tubbed

I got stuck with some 245 45 18's and they are too tall if you get some fuzion zri tires or some cheaper ones the front will look like crap , I had the 245 40 18 and the sidewalls looked like a low rider... I have 275 35 18 bfg's on the back...
I think the 265 35 18 and 295 out back would be perfect I found some 265 35 18 " nexen free shipping on ebay for cheap from tires direct ot direct tire I cant remember and the tire rack always has some good closeout deals going ...

I see 18" tires are a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for I guess. What are the brands you guys are running me I like nittos

 

[TripleBlack95]

Goodyear Eagle GSD3's - 1030 from Discount Tire for all 4 plus warranty on all 4. I know, it's a pretty penny but I love them to death thus far. Otherwise I'd get Nitto's.

 

[stacy532]

I paid 204$ for my bfg drag radials and then 145$ for my nittos up front each

How does that look? I try to keep the same tire all around. Anyone else with miss match tires?

 

[91LX_5L]

265 on front 295 on rear is what Id do.

 

[rustang94]

do you think 285/35/18 would look allright and than what for the front?

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

I have 285/35/18 for the back, and 245/40/18's for the front, and they look good, although I've been too lazy to put them on the car

so the side walls on them isn't a big difference
