Hey guys I just bought some 18 x 9/10's over the winter and its almost time to wrap them in some rubber. just wondering what everyone is running. I was looking at 295/35/18 and 255/40/18 for the fronts. but the 295s are just too much money. . . lookin at 275/40/18 and 245/40/18's but the front is gonna be quite a bit lower than the rears which isnt a bad thing. My car has stock suspension right now but i plan on doing eibach springs and not sure about struts. . .

Thanks guys

Mine came with 265/35-285/35 they will be swapped out for 275/35-295/35. 285's look a little to narrow for me and the type of tire I want does not have 265's for the front so I'm going wider (Niitos Invo). But the 265's look good up front to me, I just can't stand these Summi's in the rain. Way to much wheel spin on wet roads during normal acceleration off idle. If it rains a lot in your area save for some good tires, it's just not worth going cheap and ending up wrapped around a pole or car.

18x9 on all 4 corners.

Front: 245/40/18 (should have gone wider, i'm thinking 255)
Rear: 285/35/18 (fit perfectly on the wheel)

I ran 295/35 on my saleens which were pricy but were also worth the money (till i hit the pothole!) But my new bullitts have 285/35 now but the look just as good imo. It's really all up to what kind of money you have to spend. But for the rears, I wouldn't cheap out.

when i had 18x9's all around, i ran 255/40/18s on the front and 285/35/18s on the back

then i got toyo r-888s and 275s were as wide as or wider than the other 285s were

then my son lost control and went over a curb and ruined the rims and tires. now i have 17 inchers all around
