I need to know what size tires to get with my new wheels I want the somewhat "flush" look.. Rolling fenders isn't a concern

18x9.5 +15
18x10.5+15

might be able to get a 295 in rear, but they are going to get expensive

Really?? I'm looking at a pair for the front right now their new Hankook Ventus R-S3 on sale on Craiglist $175 each ($236 on tirerack.com)

others may want to chime in.....dont take just my word

Looch

I have the same specs with 285/35 and 265/35 and I think its perfect. I had a 255 on the front before and it had more of a stretch compared to the rear. I have rs-3s too, and in the california weather, theyll be a lot of fun. Just don't expect them to last 30k miles like other tires would.


I have to assume you are getting enkei wheels. Check out this thread for 100s of examples of your exact setup.

I had 275/35-18 front and 295/35-18 rear on 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +22 for reference. It was flush and looked good.

255/40 or 265/40 in the front
285/40 in the rear

I tried going with the 265 front/285 rear combo for my wheels of the same widths as yours but the tires that I wanted were backordered for 265s.

Street 245/40-18 or 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear.

Track the 265/35 and 285/35 combo.

This. You'll want this size on the street as well, 255/35 is on the stretched side for a 9.5 rim.

Dd here, same specs, stock height.
265/35/18
295/35/18 rolled.

My idea of a perfect fit, a little more rubber than wheel.

I run 275/35F 295/35R the exact same wheels with no issue.

So just to confirm I can do the 265/35 and 285/35 combo --for street without any problems?

Yes you can

I found a guy who is rocking the same exact wheels I bought and he won't respond to my messages. Can anyone guess from this picture what size tires he has? His rims sizes are same I put above 18x9.5+15 18x10.5+15 and those are the exact wheels I have. Why does he have so much fender gap?? It's freaking me out

Look like 35 aspect tires because of the sidewall.

Front and rear have slight stretch so I think he is doing 255 front, 275 rear. But some tires sit more or less square given the same rim.

I need to do more research, that fender gap is disgusting. Why can't I do a 265/40 285/40 combo to close the gap in the fender.

That looks like stock or higher ride height. test fit yours.. dont worry so much... 285/35 is perfect for the back
