rickya Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 On a 8.5 front and 9.5 rear alloy with +25ET offset I would go: Front: 245/40/18 or 235/40/18 Rear: 275/40/18 I would'nt go 18x9 on front, it will spoil ride with understeer & unnecesary weight. Especially then running 275 width tyres on front[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 +1 i would say 275 on the front and 295 is too wide and will spoil the handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that seems too wide, but if you can get away with it why not! Be a trend setter. Let us know how it handles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersen.o Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 yeah maybe i will go thinner on the front but i really wanted to try the 295 on the rear maybe i will got for 8.5 fronts with 245-255 / 40's ill have a look into it theyre only 150 each on camskill for toyos, which aint that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how you like the car balance to feel really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The guy who's done this doesn't seem to mention whether he had to roll his arches. Be prepared to do this if you're going that wide front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if you're staying 18" and running 40 profile, you may need to lower the car as the wheels could look a bit swamped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
