hey guys i'm new to the forum and the 240's. I Just got my first 1995 240sx and the previous owner had 225/40/18 tires in the front and 265/35/in the back. i thought it was better to have the bigger tire in the back? should i keep it like that or go 40's all the way around?:facepalm:

its the width not the height that matters. tho it probably looks retarded with larger tires in the front.

225/40/18 tires in the front and 265/35/18 in the back

Bigger tires are in the rear (width wise), just your fronts have a little bit more of sidewall, only 5mm or something like that IIRC.

225/4018 225mm wide 40= 40% of the width measurement

is that a drift thing? the owner b4 me use to go canyon driving

Go read up on tire sizing. The 225/40's are narrower but have a taller sidewall relative to its width. The 265/35 is a lot WIDER but to make the height look even with the fronts they chose a "shorter" sidewall. I think 245/35 are the ones with the most similar height to 225 but IDR.

And no, its not a drift thing, staggering is usually in RWD vehicles to get the most traction out of the wheels putting down the power.

he does have the bigger tyre at the back though, 35% of 265 is more than 40% of 225. :)
