Tire Question!! Need to decide asap. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok here's my dilema, Im getting Toyo T1R's but dont know which size to get. Here are my current wheel specs:
Work Emotion CR Kai
18 x 9.5 +12 All Around
Currently running 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 but I dont like stretched tires.

I was thinking of running 245/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears.
This is on an s14 with rolled fenders. Im on coilovers and know for sure I'll have to raise the rear to clear these.

Ive had ppl tell me to run 245/40 and 255/35. So which would work best?? 245/45 with 255/35 or 245/45 with 265/35?? I need to choose a size quick.

Thanks.

Wait, if your running the same size rim all around...why stagger tires? Better yet, drift or grip?!?! If grip, and you pulled the fenders enough, Id go 255/35 18s. 255 should look more than square on a 9.5 j.
