What size tires for 18x9s?

[Js90Lx]

Just sold a few items so now its on for a 5 lug conversion and 18s for my notch. What size tires for front and back? Car is lowered almost 1.5 inches and Im keeping my tail-pipes. I did a search but didnt find anything. Also what offset/back spacing for the wheels. 18x9 bullets from partshopper.

I would do nothing less that 255 width.

anything bigger then a 255/265 in the rear is going to bring clearance issues with the tailpipes.

wouldnt use anything over 255 in the front either.

i run 245/40 front, 275/40 rear. no tailpipes though, my 255 would have cleared some, 275 no way.

What size 255 rear would you go with?

Js90lx, hey man i'm interested in how that looks when you're done. I have a 91 notch that is white. I'm hoping to go with Saleens....but they are a lot of mula. Post some pics when you get it done?

No problem man. Im in the process of a new paint job, brakes, interior so I will definitley have pics soon. By the way im going to use black bullets with the polished lip.

you can get saleens online for 200 a rim in chrome, or i believe 150 a rim in silver. not very expensive, but i dont know what you consider expensive. im going to get a set once my car has an engine again and moves.

255/40 is a good size tire and what most people go with.
