ok thanks . am I over thinking the 30 sidewall. I'm afraid of rubber band tires...

I'm on 18's, +12 x4.
9.5=265/35
10.5=295/35

Lowered 1" on Eibach Pros. For me, it's a nice fit. And when I pass those traffic signs with a built-in radar, my speed is within 2-3 mph. (My speedo is higher).

All depends on what you want. Obviously handling improves a bit with a shorter tire and ride cush suffers. I like a little more rubber than wheel. Scarred for life when I let my old boss drive my Mitsu and rashed a BBS.

Ck the Wheels/Tires threds for ideas!

I think it's your only choice unless you want a lift kit... 265/35 is what would work on an 18inch wheel for a front tire.

255/35 front and 275/35 rear would work well also but its going to be stretched on those wide baller wheels.

I have a 245/40/18 on a 9.5 wheel so I 255 on 10 inch would probably have a similar stretch, if you wanna call it that.

If 295 is an option go with that... 265/30 295/30

I kinda wish I would have gotten 265s in front

went with a different brand bfgoodrich
front 265 35 19 which is very close to my oem front 245 40 18

and rear went with 285 35 19

thanks guys for the help. the added sidewall will help me protect my volk re30!

Good call! Post pics Chris.

But as always, will they physically fit?

Height wise, NP. Width wise, I'd be a slightly concerned on your Nismo, Chris, since it's lowered a fair amount as I recall. Standard warnings apply.... rolled rears might be the ticket.

Fit on wheel:

10" wheel can take any tire from 235 to 305 reasonably (90% to 120% of wheel width although it's better to go > 1:1) and 11" wheel 255 to 335mm before you start to see performance drop off.

Other caveat: availability of tires in matched sets. Go on TR and check that 265/295 combo..... not much choice at reasonable pricing.

Go 255/285 and it's a whole different ballgame.

Good luck..... whatchu gonna be running THIS time?

Oh jeesh, hadn't seen that you went with the BFGs and what whills you got before posting response. Doy.... Oh well, at least what I said corroborates your decision. < where's that pat-myself-on-the-back emoji at? >

Sounds great, Chris!

welp. plans changed again. in order to save some money I bought a friend's new rear tires 295 30 toyo proxes 1.

now in order to keep vdc and traction and all that happy what sizes will be best front.
rear is 11inch front is 10 inch
im leaning 265 30 or 275 30 19?

MicVelo

255/35-19 at 26.03 O.D. still works just fine since the 295/30 is the EXACT same O.D. as OEM 245/45-18.
