18" wheels...what size tires??

[330racing]

I am going with 275/35/18 in back, but tire rack recommends 245/40/18 in front...sounds too small...

Anyone know if 265/35/18 would work?

They are Saleen wheels if that helps...


Thanks

if they are 18x10's in the back you need to go bigger than 275 IMO. If fronts are 18x9's I would do a 265/35!

 

[330racing]

They are 18x9 all around....i'm not sure it the 265s would rub in the front.

BFG G-Force KDs or KDWs all around.... 265/35/18s up front, 275/35/18s out back

It would actually be better if 275/35/18 would work on the front so I could rotate them!

Go for it then:beer:

275/35/18 is fine on the front. Same diameter and nearly same width as stock. TireRack's automated recomendation to use narrower tire in front makes no sense-- I think it's based on pre Cobra Mustangs, where stock tire size was 245.

Thanks for your input

I got the ssr rime 18X10.5 for the back and I am running 295/35/18 and no problem with rubbing. also I have 18X9 for the front and running 275/35/18. I think 245 are to small

275's up front with AFS 18x9
295 in back with AFS 18X10.5

No rubbing ever

you are looking at them 265-35-18(9.5) front ,295-35-18 (10.5)rear on SSR GT3 wheels.

Definitely run the 275/35's up front. If you have 10.5's in the rear you can use the 315/30 BFG drag radials or at least a 295/35/18.

It depends on what brand tires you want to run. Ive got 265 BFG KD's on the front. And I think they are to wide for the 18x9's they bulge out on the rim. BFG tires run really wide, I wouldnt run a 275 BFG on the fronts thats for sure, but thats just me. If I were to do it over again I would run the 245/40 BFG's in the front and the 295/35's in the rear.

I have 275/35/18's all around, not rubbing. It will work fine. I have 18x9 Cobra R's.

 

[Robertson Racin]

Go with at least 295's in back, 265's in front

 

[vipergts281]

I have Saleen rims.....18x9 all around.

I have BFG KDW's 265/35/18's all around. So yes, you will be fine with that combo in the front.

I just ordered new tires the other night since the BFG's are toast. But I can't say a bad thing about them, they are a great tire. I got about 20,000 miles out of them and I drive aggressive.

Good luck. :beer:

I'm runnin 275/35/18's on 18x9's in front, 315/30/18's on 18x10's in back.

I have run 275's in the front with no problems, but you need to check the offset of your wheels. My 295/35/18 BFG drag radials rub a bit in certain situations in back, but the car is low. Steeda runs 285's in front with no problems, but they are Nittos and might run slim.

 

[SBlueSVT03]

BFG's

275's all around no problems

They are 18x9 all around....i'm not sure it the 265s would rub in the front.

I'm runnin 275/35/18's on 18x9's in front, 315/30/18's on 18x10's in back.

I'm running this combo as well. I would think more people would have this setup than not, considering this is what the car should have came with from the factory IMHO.
