Anyone have pics with either setup? There isn't many 285/35/18 options out there, but I really don't like the look of the 275/40....... Trying to get the sidewall as close as possible weight wise while staying staggered. Don;t mind if the rear is a tad beffier but the 245/40 275/40 setup is too off to me.
Thanks

Geez… I was thinking about a similar setup (wide tires on 18“ wheels). But, looking at the pictures posted on this thread I’m thinking they look a little “meaty.”
Also, the drop doesn’t look quite right to me since the tire’s perimeter doesn’t maintain a concentric relationship to the wheel well.
I’m not an expert on wheels, so maybe I’m all wrong.

Combo, that's cool, but I wont buy the Toyo's... Completely hate them, no where near as sticky as what im looking for. Im also looking for something wider. I hate over steer. BTW the Rotas in that color look great on the SS. I as well have a similar color wheel on my SS.
Zridder, thanks for the PICS, but no idea on tire specs??????

Just get the proper size for the front to keep the stock oversteering stagger. 265/35-18

Was also thinking about a 255/40 and 295/35.... Think those would be too fat? Anyone with that setup?
Looks like the KDW2's about the only thing in this size though, which is a good tire so I don't mind.

Yes your saying I should get a tire within 20MM width of each other ie. 265f and 285r... That's great, that will help a lot with under steer.... However I don't have under steer problems, I have problems with the rear being too lose (over steer) meaning I want more rubber on the pavement out back. The front is fine.
