Need some spring help with my new tires

[SS KILLR]

I thought I had the Eibach sport lines on the car I just bought, But they are the H&R's. The tires I just put on the rear are the Nitto 555's and the size is 295/45/18. What springs can I use that will raise to car up a little, But not be as high as the stock springs? I am worried about rubbing on bumps. Thanks in advance for your help guys!

I would ditch the tires.

The 555s are a longer mileage tire and don't hook for crap!

Did you mean to buy the Nitto 555R drag radials and just make a mistake?

Sell them and get the NT05s if you want a normal street radial that can be driven in the rain and will actually stick to the pavement and hook well in the dry.

If you want a normal treaded street radial tire that will last as long as possible and don't really care about traction the 555s are fine, but then if you don't really care that much about traction why did do buy that larger size?:shrug:

thats a huge sidewall lol

 

[SS KILLR]

Yea I think I am going to swap them for a smaller tire all together

What the best size tire to run on an 18 in the rear

That wheel is a 18" rim?? It looks so small lol.

A 315/30 or 35/ 18 would be a perfect size. I'd roll your fenders too. Do you have the ISO's in?

That is not a 18" rim

 

[SS KILLR]

LOL, It is an 18"

 

[selbyvince]

what size is that rim 18x9 or 10.5?

do you want a nice wide tire, or just a regular ole tire?

radial or street tire? thatd help us a little better, also what do you have on the front rims?

i went with 275/40/18 in the front, and 305/35/18 in the rear (front rims are 18x9 and rear is 18x10, you can see the sidewall height in my sig.

 

[SS KILLR]

Getting them yanked off now, Trying to see if they can get 305/35/18 Toyo 888's

 

[selbyvince]

that would be a great choice, although you didnt answer any of my previous questions! lol.. more importantly now, im wondering how wide those rear rims are... good luck though, and you wont be disappointed with those r888's imo

 

[SS KILLR]

I'm not sure how wide the wheel is. I do know that the prev owner had small wheel spacers if that tells you anything.

 

[SS KILLR]

So from the inside of the wheel to the outside measures 10". It's like that in the front also. I think that's to wide for the front. Am I wrong?

 

[Anabolic]

those wont rub at all. if they do it will be on the irs if camber is to far out

 

[Anabolic]

my 305/45/18s were almost touching IRS needed camber adjust wich in turn needs an alignment
295s should tuck when you hit a bump. shouldnt rub.

 

[05satinGT]

They're all probably 18x9's

 

[SS KILLR]

I'm going to take a wheel off tonight to look and see for sure what they are. Thanks for all of the input.
