Hey guys I recently bought some some 18x8.5 and 18x10 +25 and I went a ahead and ordered tired but after looking through this thread idk if I chose the right sizes or not. The sizes I bought are 245/40/18 and a 285/40/18. I'm on stock ride height for now. Did I choose the right tire sizes lol?
I am considering running these tire sizes, will these cause an issue with VDC?

275/40 would be much better in the rear. 285/40 is too tall. Ive heard good things about 265/35 f and 285/35 r also.

Which is why you always research before buying, not after. Sounds crazy I know.
Eh I honestly think its more to say "hey my car has 335s"
I could be wrong though they could be making 1000+HP and need the tire
Agreed. I do love a big tire, however, I know of 900rwhp Z32s with 255-sized (drag) tires that hook, but they need heat. Once you make some horsepower, there isn't a "wide" street tire out there that is going to help unless it's a Flintstone roller. On my Z32, I run a lower boost setting in 1st and 2nd, then up the boost in 3rd and it sorta hooks (i.e. spins but goes straight) until 4th gear.

OK maybe they're not 335's and I'm not making 1000+hp but...
