supra steveo Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I am getting a little confused now the Tyres sizes for the wheels I have just bought they are 9x18 and 10x18 what size tyres do I need ? I think I've picked up that I need 295/30/18s for the rear, what size do I need at the front ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 245/35 front and a 265/30 or 275/30 rear:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 So is it a big no to 285 and 295s on the rear ? Feel like I am looking for a needle in a haystack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Not at all, you can do if you want, theres no crime against it 295 is as far as id go though, probly stretching it a little bit id say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Does 245/35 & 275/30 not seem a bit under-walled for 18s? Would 245/40 and 275/35 not be closer to the mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 You would have to come in here and confuse me wouldnt you! I failed to read they were 18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I was quoting sizes for 19s... you want a 40 profile on the front and 35 on the rear for 18s unless you just want the looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 i would go with a 285 on a 10j rim personally. i like the shoulder to sit outbount of the rim, i hate to see tyre shoulders sat inbound of the rim lip. i am putting 8.5 and 10js on my car and ill be going with 255 front 285 rear. depends what brand of tyre you buy as just because they have the same size on the side different brands can differ in size a fair bit .

supra steveo Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) I wish they were 19s lol would be uber rare then think I understand it better now but I was told that I needed 30s on the rear coz it's a percentage ??

Good call.. Falken 452s for example are alot smaller in width than quoted compared to something like a toyo 265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 245/40 fronts 285-295/35-30 rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 You would have to come in here and confuse me wouldnt you! I failed to read they were 18s I have 8.5 front 9.5 rear 235-40-18 and 265-35-18 so 245/40 and 275/35 are what I would fit to your wheels. 285 at a push.

Mine are Falken and sit dead in line with the wheel face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 SteD has 10" wide jade r's on his and runs a 265 falken and it doesnt sit flush with the face of the wheel at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Basically I want big tyres width way as I don't want to kerb the rims and don't want to go for the stretched rubber look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I suppose it boils down to your budget aswel. Id stick with my original recommendation (with some minor alterations ) 245/40 for the front and 275/35 rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 a pirelli p- zero 285 fits well on a 10j. continental tyes are narrow. michelins are normally quiet wide model depending. if you go for toyo or yokohama a 275 will be a nice fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 If you go too wide your handling will suffer. The rim will roll from side to side in the tyre giving the car a slightly detached feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I like the toyo T1r's so might just put some 275s on then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 The falken 452s look cheap too but if they are as good as the old GSD3 maybe worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
