I've searched. Nothing shows with these specific specifications.

Personally, I wouldn't go wider than 8.5" wheel and a lower offset than 38. That's just for the rear. The front, you can go up to a 20x10.5 +7. Especially if you have a BBK. If in doubt, just read the posted links.

Check out www.rimtuck.com

Although I highly doubt you'll find any examples with those kinds of specs.

Have a question about a tire combo for my RPF1's. Ordered a staggered setup of 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 (both +15). While I know that most recommend 275/245 or 275/255 as the standard setup with a 275 being the minimum recommended for a 10.5, I have to consider a 265 setup due to the availability of tires for 275/40-18 (Hankook V12's and overpriced PS2's at 350+ each are the two main options).

Tire Setup: 265/40-18, 245/40-18

% Difference is 2.7 - 1.3% - 1.0% = 0.4% (from 2.7 stock)
Staggered Difference is 0.6" for the diameter

While I know that fitting won't be a problem (tire might be a slight stretch), just wondering if:

a) Will I have VDC issues? Stagger seems within limit (under 1, >0.5), and diameter within 3% of the stock 2.7
b) Would the setup be recommended, keeping in mind that the tires for the the 265/245 setup are MUCH better (by a lot) than the 275/245?

The tires Rim Width Range is 9-10.5", and the tire is known to run wide (Michelin Pilot Super Sport).

Thank you.

265/40 will work just fine out back with a 245/40 front. it will probably handle better than the 275/40 and 245/40 combo.

I should have done 255/40 to match my 275/40 for my 18x9.5/10.5... the fronts looks really small/stretched and it bugs me........

Do you think the stretch will be an issue at all? The wheel is only 1.67mm wider (10.5" = 266.7").

Thanks again

18 x8.5 +57 would look flush. If you don't trust me, just search.

I thought +60 was the sweet spot for super flushness?

You should read this post from our Top 100 FAQ that lists the commonly used size tires and wheels:

Thinking about buying this set of 18 Varrstoen's from this guy until he told me the tires are 19s...fronts are 245/30/19 while the rears are 295/30/19. I told him I'm positive the rims are 19s then. He said the guy he bought them from swears they're 18s. So I'll ask, can 19" tires fit on 18" rims? I told him to just use a tape measurer and get back to me.
