Carlos T Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Done a load of searching on here but just want to check to see what width tyre i could get away with, the wheels are 18" and the offset will be 35. Will i be able to put 8.5"wheels with 235/40 tyre on the front and 9.5" wheel with 265/35 tyre on the rear with out them sticking out or rubbing. Had a good look but couldn't find some thing specific. cheers guys;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sounds fine to me mate, i used to run 18's with 9" FRONT 10" REAR GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 245/40/18 and 285/35/18 The rears needed the arches rolling, but depends what suspension you are running. I was on the jap yellow Bilsteins and standard springs to go with them. Pics are in my garage of old car to show you how they looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
