tire sizing for a 18x10 18x9

[NismoLmgt4]

i have Work meister s1 3pc the fronts are 18x9 and rears 18x10. I dont want that stretch look i want the rear to have a bit of a buldge look and the fronts to line up perfect with the wheels. So do you guys reccemond a 265/35 in the rear and a 245/45 in the front?

[96Turbo]

S14 i'm assuming????? Stock bodywork....Overfenders.....roll....pull....???? NEED MORE INFO!

[NismoLmgt4]

S13 getting wheels mounted and balanced then going to get them pulled and rolled to fit perfectly

[advan_s13]

I have 5Zigen Pro Gn+ 18x10 in the rears and run a 245 wide, stretched a lil. a 265 would be straight, 275 bulged. I have my fenders rolled and stretched and it all works well.

[NismoLmgt4]

so the front i would be looking at a 255/45? and the rear a 275/35? cause i want the front to be straight dont want that stretch look

GO DO SOME RESEARCH.

Theres a WHEEL FITMENT WHORE thread as well.

[gotta240]

If you want the square look up front go with a 245 or 255 width.

The rears will need a 275 or 285 to be near square. If you want the BULGE look go with a 305 or 315. However, that large of a rear tire with only a 245 or 255 up front is just retared. Id stick with the 275 unless drag racing.

Keep in mind i have no regard to what type of body work you will be doing. I'm simply answering your question based on rim size, not body clearance.


EDIT= FUCK NO to a 255/45/18 front. A 255/35/18 is more like it.

i'm running 18x9 front 225/40/18 and 18x10 rear 255/40/18 and it's a light stretch.

245/40/18 and 265/40/18

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

^^^^ that looks about right.

[gotta240]

Negative on the 265/40/18.

You'll want a 35 series sidewall for that width tire. Dont forget, just cause the middle number is the same, doesn't mean the height is the same or even close to being the same.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

but he wants a bulge and that will give him one.

[kornaz]

Look out for potholes with that 35 series tire. I run a 225 on a 10 wide wheel. Thinking about going 45 next. Too many potholes/fucked up roads after rainy season.

[JeremyR]

a 35 series tire is going to be too small for this guy, he wants a straight front, slight bulge rear. a 265/40/18 is what he needs for the rear. the sizes i listed are correct.


the series 35, 40, 45, etc is the percentage of sidewall to tire width "35% of 255, 40% of 265"

i have Work meister s1 3pc the fronts are 18x9 and rears 18x10. I dont want that stretch look i want the rear to have a bit of a buldge look and the fronts to line up perfect with the wheels. So do you guys reccemond a 265/35 in the rear and a 245/45 in the front?

Meisters, Good, but typical choice!

265/35 rear, depending on how much you drive & where, you may want a 40 for tread (traveling) meat, 35's for look/stylsh setup, which is still very cool. I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 235/35/18 @ -20 rear wheel, so I have a slight stretch, due to poor fender pull (its just the paint really)

BUT. .. .

45 up front; way unbalanced for the 35 option(s) in the rear, go for a relative size match, 45/40 - 40/35 - 35/30
35/40 265 rear, 235-OR-45 up front. IMO.:bigok:

Let me see the wheels, you have tires now?

Theres a WHEEL FITMENT WHORE thread as well.


If you want to rice it up and stretch it like a hoe go to the extreme stretch thread. If you want to ACTUALLY utilize your wheel and fit 275 or 285 rubber go to the maximum rubber and wheel fitment thread.

I plan to run 18x10.5 with 285/30/18 up front on mine... so :fruit:

Make up your choice

[Ian]

blah blah blah

jesus you might as well just own a camaro

[a_ahmed]

jOwn a camaro? Wow so big tires are for camaros!! Genius! Im sure based upon that all race teams should start getting camaros from now on!

And if you blabla back. Why f'en get a 18x100000 rims if you don't fucken use the wheel, waste of money, extra weight, ridiculous, rice, scrapped rim lip (bye bye rim), etc... so stupid...

Oh wait let me get my Formula 1 camaro. Actually you should have at least said something more educated like why don't you get a corvette? Because I can't afford one. It's a better vehicle than any nissan car ever made to the exception of highly modified 300zx and skylines. Don't believe all you read in sportscompact magazines. Yes yes, v8s are heavy, the good ol bullshit, the new corvette can eat skylines for lunch, and I love skylines. Guess what, it has big rubber, big v8, its all modern, not the stereotype of "oh those cars are heavy, they cant handle uuh big v8 booga booga". Misinformed.

Either you want your car to go fast or to look cool for mtv yo yo kids not realizing how stupid it actually is.

If anything, stretching your tires over gigantic wheels will help you f up your rim over potholes.

[OBEEWON]

Depending on what brand tire you run, but mostly a 265 on a 10 will not bulge at all, especially with a 35.

I suggest 285 for a bulge. 275 will be square. But again it depends on the brand of tire you go with.

[olah.inc]

i throw a question into this: what size for a nice stretch? 215/40 front and 245/35 rear?

[EJ253]

205 or 215 fronts
and 225 rears

that would looks pretty good. theres crazier shit, but i think this is generally safe for the most part

im not sure of the sidewall cuz i dont rock 18s and im too lazy to go on a tire size calculator

[spanishricer]

These are 275/35/18 Kumho MX's on an 18x10 wheel.

Tire choice also plays a key factor on how they fit the wheel. Two pairs of tires may have the same size written on the sidewall, but fit differently based on the design of the tread/sidewall.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Negative on the 265/40/18.

You'll want a 35 series sidewall for that width tire. Dont forget, just cause the middle number is the same, doesn't mean the height is the same or even close to being the same.

Im with him...to get it close to stock diameter, youll have to kick down the side wall. Personally, I'd run 235/40 front and 265/35.

Way to go by not reading what he's trying to do!!!

Go read the thread before you start bitching...he's gonna pull the fenders to fit whatever shit he throws in it.

[240trainee]

Blah blah blah

Dude, seriously, it's not necessary to bad mouth other peoples shit whenever you get the chance, throwing a jab at stretched tires at every opportunity is childish and stupid.

I don't give a shit if you like it or not, it's just annoying to see you posted and it's going to be another garbage post.

You can only pull so far. A starting reference point would help?

[Ian]

blah blah blah again

actually i said you might as well own a camaro because i was pretty sure you couldn't afford a better domestic.


and yeah, i wouldn't know anything about corvettes because there definitely isn't one sitting in my driveway... :goyou:

[WISH ONE]

ive got 255 45 17 bridgestones 17x9 bbs on my 13 coupe in the rear and its just about square with the wheel my fenders are pulled not wildly but enough
