Hi guys, i just got my Volks today, 10.5 rear and 8.5 front. i was wondering what the tire sizes are. should i get 295/25 for the rear and 245/35 front? Please guys i need help. My car is lowered btw. Eibach pro-kit

 

Hey alshawi

how long did you wait till you got your rims?

I*m getting

Front: 9,5 with 255/35 with 8,5 I would go with 245/35
Rear: 10,5 with 285/35

 

Although there are people running up to 315 on the back, it seems that it is generally accepted that 285/35 is the max you can do without rubbing... I will do 275/35/19, and I have not lowered the car... call me 'safety guy'

Cool wheels, btw. Enjoy!

yo, i waited for around a month cos i also ordered the Top secret front and rear diffusers as well, nismo sides came in from the US but the rest from Japan, and i live in the middle east. So i had to wait.. But whats funny is i wont be able to fix my the body kit and wheels soon, im still working on my car, tuning, etc. so hopefully when im done with that ill install the body kit and wheels.

I got SF challenge gunmetal.. Thats a color they dont usually make for SF challenge thats y it took a long time. so it depends on the color u want

 

Coming from someone who has SF-challenges with a 10.5 rear, I'd go with a 285 tire. (Previous Eibach Pro-kit owner as well)

If you're going to go with a 245 front on that 8.5 then I wouldn't make the rear too wide, unless all you care about is drag racing. For everything else, you might get a little too much understeer with a 295 rear and 245 front.

I actually have 245 front and 275 rear and the car feels great on a 9.5 and 10.5 wide wheel.
Eventually bumping the front up to 255 and keeping the rear at 275/285 for that nice turn-in slip angle.

I don't know how wide of a tire you can fit on that 8.5 wheel, but if you're stuck at 245 I wouldn't venture past 285 for the rear wheel.

 

I know what u mean, but i cant seem to find any 285/30 michellen ps2 tires in bahrain, i can only get 295/30, the thing is, i dont really use the car much, and i only speed in street races, so it wont bother me when i turn cos i usually cruise most of the time. i found 245/35 for the front and 295/30 for the rear. the wider the tire, the better the traction and thats all i need at the moment

 

I'll chime in, 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 is the way to go in my opinion. That is, they look like 19's... if they're 18's then its a different story, slightly.

 

I would run 245/35/19 & 275/35/19...
