Pulling the trigger on some TF Chicanes (tire size?)

[Det.Bullitt]

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on some new True Forged Chicanes 18x9, 18x11 set up. What tire size can I run? I have H&R springs with IRS. In about 4 to 6 weeks I should have them ready to install! Can't wait!

in the rear, you can do 305's, 315's or (depending on the tire) 335's. personally, i would stick with 315's. what brand of tires are you interested in?

I hope you go with all satin black Chicanes.

Ret_Junior went with Toyo 335/30/18 on his new 18x11 Chicanes and just needed the IRS bolt and the fenders rolled by me.

Actually mine will be different from Vader. I am not going to hate on Vader anymore. I like getting a rise out of him over nothing. It was funny but over with.

I like the BFGooddrich's style tires I have now. KDW's is what I have on the car now. I guess 315's will be fine without rubbing?

They don't make KDW's in 315's and I would hope you'd be getting a better gripping tire then those, because at your power level you'll be doing a lot of spinning.

I am thinking about some toyo r888's

 

[Anabolic]

I would go 315s, people run them no problem.. people run 335s no problems too

 

[Det.Bullitt]

I guess I will go with some Toyo R888's.
315/30/18 in the rear and 275/35/19 in the front.

 

[gabe1530]

good choice! the r888's are truely amazing!

 

[Det.Bullitt]

After looking at tire sizes and sidewall height. I decided to go with a set of Toyo R888's in size front 275-35-18 rear 305-35-18. The 315's have a shorter sidewall than the 275's so I didn't want the front sidewall to be bigger than the rear. This is the reason for the 305's in the back and I should have no rubbing issues.

What do you guys think about my tire sizes?

What do you guys think about my tire sizes?

From what I understand from my research (I'm making the same purchase), the 305/35 and 315/30 tires are going to have the same specs, I think this is due to the width of the tire being different.

Fwiw, I'm going to run the following setup with 3 piece chicanes.

18x9 big brake offset
275/35/18 bfg kdw II

18x10.5 fender flush, 3.5" lip
315/30/18 bfg kdw II

Good luck with the new TF wheels....you'll love them! ... I have the 18x9 & 18x11 on both Cobra's...run 275's up front, 305's out back

 

[1Bad04Mystic]

I run 275s in the front and 305s in the rear I have Nitto drag radials though

 

[Bruha]

305's on an 11" wheel will look HUGE. My 305's on an 11" wheel vs. my buddies 315's on an 10.5" wheel measure a 1/2" wider. My two cents would be a 10.5" rear with 305's all day.

 

[SpectorV]

275/35/18s for the 9 wide for the 11 not 100% sure, 315's or 335?'s my 295 on 10 wide are perfect and a 305 is not much wider so that would be to narrow to me
