I know this has been asked a thousand times but cant seem to find the answer with ease.

I just bought 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 and need suggestions on the right size tires for these wheels.

thanks in advance, mike

 

225/45R18 in the front.

275/40R18 in the rear.

These are the only 2 sizes available with matching tires.

 

I have 18" X 9.0" rims on all four corners. You might want to look at Michelin "Pilot Sport" PS2. Front: 245/40/18 Rear: 265/40/18. I believe the spec. on that tire will allow for 9.5" rims on the rear.

No - The proper sizes for those wheels is 245/40/18 and 275/40/18. 225/45/18 is the same height, but hard to find in many tire makes. For an 8.5" wheel in front 245/40.

Also the 225/45 front with a 275/40 in the rear will just exaserbate the understeer.

Don't do this.

Lou,

It's a little high on the stagger with a 245/40.

You're right, the 225 will make it understeer pretty good with a 275 in the rear.

 

Thanks for the help. I went with 245-40-18 and 275-40-18. They look and handle great on the car.

thanks again mike
