Default What tires size should i get?

ordered a set of Work CR Kai last week. and wondering what tire size would be the best for a stock Z or maybe a lowered Z(1").
18x9.5 +20
18x9.5 +12

245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear? (dont wanna roll the fender)



Thanks =]

honestly i would get the same size F/R so you can rotate them, itll make youre wear way more even. since you have the same rim width... id do that.

tires... 275/35or40/18

I would go with a 255 or 265 (if it fits without rubbing) up front instead, otherwise your front and rear sidewalls will look weird. Your fronts will be stretched quite a bit on a 9.5 and your rears will be pretty much straight up and down. My 245 fronts were slightly stretched on a 8.5" rim and my then 275's on 9.5 were straight

Would be better to run the same size all the way around (probably 265's) but you can't. What possesd you to buy the same width wheels all the way around anyway?
