Default what tire size?

having trouble calculating what size tires i need. i am lowerd on eibach sportlines, d-spec shocks, i have some enkei rpf1's on the way 18x9.5 +15F 18x10.5 +15R, i dont want the stretched look, i am going to have my rear fenders rolled, i dont think i need to roll the fronts since they came rolled from factory. anyone wanna shoot me the proper tire size front and back. no stretch. thanks, maybe even pics...thanks.

You can run anywhere from 245 to 295 mm tires. The number of possible combinations staggers the human imagination.

Those sizes should keep your diameters pretty close to oe, so chances of making the VDC gods unhappy is reduced.

VDC will be fine, you will need roughtly -2.3 front camber and -2.2 rear to clear. That is with the rears being rolled and slightly pulled.

295/35/18: Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 102.11 MPH. This is acceptable.
