18x9F 255/40/18 and 18x10R 275/40/18

Will that 255 be too wide in the front and possibly affect turn-in to an extreme, or will it be negligible?

The tires are S-03s at 26.1"F and 26.7"R, only .1" off stock fronts 26" on an 18" equipped touring.

Thanks!

 

Ya that is exactly the setup I want to run now if I could just decide on the wheels

 

255'S would fit 9" rims nearly perfect.

 

I'm sorry, I don't mean too wide for the wheel.

I'm talking about the simple fact of having a 255 up front. Skinny tires turn in quickly and I wondering if that much contact patch on the front would make turn-in laborious.

 

Why not 19's?

Just curious.

 

I think that would be a decent configuration. LOTS of cars run that size up front. That size is not so much larger than the OEM to really make a big difference. You will feel a difference, but it will be more like a tighter suspension rahter than a pain to turn the wheel.


Besides... it will look awesome! I say go for it.
