what tire size for 18x10 J+0 and 18x12 +13 ?

[BILLYhoang]

wassup fellas again . thanks to zilvia and input from other forums , i went ahead and just purchased a set of wheels that I have been trying to research and see if it fits . I've always liked WORKS and wanted to get VSXX or Meisters S13P for my SUbaru but it wouldnt look as nice as they would on 240s .

so I got a chance to get some WORK wheels and I was planning to get some WORK Equips but fell in love with the VS-XX .

the size i went with is

Work VS-XX
18x10 J+0 and 18x12 +13

and i plan to run 30mm fenders on the front and either 30mm or 50mm over fenders on the rear depending which would fit better .

here are the pics of the wheels , i should be getting them in about a week .

and now I need some input and opinions on another question ...

what size tires should I run ?

the car is making a little over 300 whp at the moment but I would like to get close to like 380whp .

I do plan to use the car to drift . ( try to learn ) so not sure if that matters on tire selection and might go with either Bridgestones or Dunlops .

so I need your input fellas about what size tires and which model Bridgestones or Dunlops ? I think with Dunlops , I would be going with Direzzas ?


thanks

Tire size is going to depend on ride height, camber and offset. I honestly have no idea what size you should run but this is what i think should work.

235/40 up front, 255/35 or 255/40 rear

if it's drifting just get something cheap like federals...you're just going to burn them off anyways

235-35front//255-35 rear

235/40/18 is a terrible tire size. run 245 or 255/35 up front. rear run 265/35 or 285/30. 285/30 is better but some people dont want that much stagger. but if you run the 265/35 itll kindof mess up the rolling diameter. but it works.

you guys are smoking crack rock if you think you can get a 255/35 mounted up on a 12. and 235/35 only comes in 19.

also that rear is probably going to need a bit of a spacer

[drift_ricer]

if it for stretch,
use 225/40/18 front
275/35/18 rear
these tires are on my work equip

[liv2drift045]

While i dont know about mounting a 255/35 thats why I said or 255/40 because I know for a fact thats possible, and whats wrong w/ 235/40??

[BILLYhoang]

anymore inputs guys .. will be needing to order tires within the next few days , and to those who did give input , i appreciate it alot . thanks

Its stupid tall for no reason


the only reason to run 235-245/40/18s is because they're cheaper than 245-255/35/18s by about 50$ per.

[liv2drift045]

both statements true, so you give or take... but it'll work
