Will 315/30/18 fit on 18 by 9.5s?

Whats the best tire for mostly street driving and street racing wont be at the track but maybe 2 or 3 times a year?

 

[Cypher-M1]

imma guess no....295 MAYBE?

 

[xcobra04x]

Yes. 315's on 9.5's are the biggest you can fit, but will work. Wouldn't recommend it tho.

 

[99lightning_svt]

They look bad ass tho!! Steem rollers

I'm running 295s on my 9.5" wheel. Fits perfectly.

 

[99lightning_svt]

Do you have any pics!

 

[drptitan]

They will fit, but again I would not recomend it. I would got 285 or 295, you will get better miles/wear out of your tires.

 

[99lightning_svt]

What kind of tires are you running?

 

[Discount Tire]

You can do it but it is not recommended. Your tires will wear faster, they are harder to maintain and it is dangerous.

BFG KDW tires. 295/35R18 out back and 255/40R18 up front.

 

[99lightning_svt]

Those look good!

Thanks! I think they fit perfectly on the wheel. They aren't quite as gigantic looking as 315s from the back, but they none-the-less give a nice intimidating look. Plus, there are more choices for tires in this size and they're cheaper. :banana:

 

[99lightning_svt]

What did you pay for them?

BFG KDW tires. 295/35R18 out back and 255/40R18 up front.

Why would you want 2 different profiles? I.E. 35 series and 40 series

 

[Reloaded]

I paid about $630 installed I think? I work for Ford and there was a special buy 3 get one free. Didn't matter how much the tire was. And 15% off list on the other tires. 3 tires I got below cost, one for free. Sometimes it's good working for the man. haha

Different profiles to keep the overall height the same. Since the rear is wider, if I went with a 40 series out back, it would be taller than the front.

295mm, 35% aspect ratio (height) blah blah boring tire crap.

 

[Discount Tire]

The goal of a staggered setup (unless you like the rake) is to have both your front and rear tire's overall diameter = the same.
Here is how a tires measurement determines its size:
example:
295= width
35= 35% of width = side wall height
18= wheel diameter.

Here is a tire calculator for reference: Tire Calculator

whats the big fing deal, the diff bewtween and 35 and 40 sidewall is prolly like 1/16 to an 1/8......not noticable

To a degree. Try comparing a 295/40/18 to a 295/35/18. You can def tell the diffrence.:rolling:

 

[gray03beast]

what about a 315/35/18 on a 10inch wide wheel?

 

[Discount Tire]

Most tire manufactures only recommend up to a 295 on a 10" wide wheel.
