What size tires go best with 18x10's?

Stagray · July 29th, 2007, 07:54 AM

I need to order tires and get them on the way before I order the rims since I can get those rathr quickly. What size is most recommended for 18x10s? Its an everyday driver and apparently Virginia is in a fuckin monsoon season.

I have 18x9's and I run a 275x35xR18 on my GT and i have extra rubber that over laps the lip to help protect me from curbing, You definately could wrap your 18x10's with this size.

you should be able to use 315/35/18s i would imagine.

HMUSN · July 29th, 2007, 12:06 PM

315's are normally used for 10.5 inch rim.

with a 10 inch rim I would say go with a 305 in the rear

so 305/35/18 is what I should be shopping for for all 4 rims? Cause the rims are all going to be 18x10's. Not pushing 10.5's in the back

ive seen them on a 9" wheel, so i dont see y a 10" wheel would be a problem.

315 on a 9 inch wheel is dangerous.

and to the first poster..

why do you want 10 inch rims on the front?

your going to rub like a mofo.

drop it to a 9 inch rin in the front and rum anywhere from 255 to 275.

the 305's are for the rear

Stagray · July 29th, 2007, 12:33 PM

should I run just 9's all the way around?

HMUSN · July 29th, 2007, 12:38 PM

I would personally run 9's in the front and 10.5 in the rear.

but running 9's on all 4 corners is better than 10's

Awsome, thanks for all the help.

HMUSN · July 29th, 2007, 12:41 PM

no problem

If you haven't ordered anything yet check out Tire Rack for the tires. I got two Sumitomo 315/35-17's for $90 each so I'm sure there are pretty good prices for smaller sizes. And O E WHEELS on Ebay for rims, they are a good company and I have used both of these places before and was not disappointed.
