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?

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!

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

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.

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

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
