hey guys i have been reading through tons and tons of threads regarding tire sizes and i just wanted to ask a couple questions before i finally go ahead and get my next set....so im going to be running 18x8 wheels on the front and 18x9.5 on the rears on some tsw thruxtons (not my ideal wheels by any means but cant beat that price) i picked up locally for $400 bucks in perfect condition and im thinking that i want to go with 245/40/18s for the front and 275/40/18s for the rear wheels and my car has the vdc so i want to be absolutely certain it will not mess with it before i order the tires...so really i just want to know it you all think this is a pretty good setup or if there is a better combo i should possibly consider before ordering my new tires.

o and by the way im on stock suspension...for now

thanks in advance

 

Perfect, you got it.

 

Tire size is good, however, without knowing the wheel offsets, we can't be sure there won't be rubbing somewhere.

 

my bad man i forgot to list in the original post that the offsets are +20 for the front and rear wheels

 

Those are good.

 

alright well thanks man now I know what I'm getting

 

Have you seen the links to the diameter ratio calculators posted in the stickies?

 

i just got done looking at that...thanks man. Also i noticed that the stock 35th anniversary 18s on my car currently have 225/50/18s on the front and 245/45/18s on the rear which was done by the previous owner...and if im not mistaken this is not a good setup is it? why would someone have chosen to put a 225/50/18 instead of the stock size 225/45/18?

 

Needed tires in a pinch and thats what was available that day, tire shop was filled with idiots. Arn't those the 370z non-sport package tires? If so, they could habe been take offs he bought cheap.

 

yeah im thinking it was just a tire shop filled with idiots because that seems to be the case a lot of the time....anyways im gonna go with 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear thanks for the help guys

 

275/40/18s

Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 100.07 MPH. Perfect.
