265/40/18 Nanking

Javi802 · 02-21-2017, 04:32 PM

245/35/18 or 245/40/18 up front

265/40/18 or 265/35/18 in the rears. 245's are the minimal width you want on a 9.5 inch wheel.

Go with the Michelin Pilot sport a/s 3 plus'

They're awesome tires

225/40 minimum

Is that going to stretch the tires

Do it for the Front n rear

Javi802 · 02-21-2017, 06:43 PM

245 isn't going to give you a stretch. A 225 will give a slight stretch.

Do you have overfenders? Or are you pulling/rolling yours? With 9.5's and the offset you have, you're probably going to have issues fitting any decent sized tire on those wheels.

Make sure when you get to the tire store to ask for "dumb stretch bro"
