Need some info on tires--18x9s & 18x10s


Alright guys, I need some info on the following set up:

18x9" black bullitts up front wrapped in 265/35/18 Nexen N3000s
18x10" black bullitt deep dishs wrapped in 285/35/18 Nitto 555s

The reason for the mismatching is, of course, due to budget, and I do know that the size might make them a bit stretched looking, but again, due to budget those are the sizes that I'm going to have to settle with.

My question is this though: will I run into any problems due to the mismatching name brands?

Any & all feedback is highly appreciated & requested...

315's in a 18 are really expensive. I have 18x9', and 18x10's. Even my 295's were 500 dollars.

yes but see 295's look different on 18's than 17's
17 rear = 315
18 rear = 285 or 295
thats how it should be.

you won't have no problems bro. people buy new front or rear tires all the time and use different brands. the tire size is the only thing you need to worry about. as long as they are matched from left to right your good. you can run different sizes front to back, just not side to side. ( unless you are circle track racing, but thats a whole other world of setup)

you guys are getting screwed my 275 nitto in 18s were 160 a piece, and the same for the drag radials in the back, and they are either a 295 or a 305 i cant remember. go look at tire places around you instead of the internet. a lot of tire places can get nittos, m/t and stuff for a much deeper discount than you can get on the internet.
