hey tire guys!! help!!

[matt]

so my return is going to be about 500 more than I expected so I am gonna get new tires for my stockers, along with coilovers

the stock rims are, 18x8, and 18x9
I am wondering what kinda meat can I put on these.
I am thinking 245,40,18 , and 265,40,18
these should fit right, and with the width difference how bad will the aspect ratio be from the front vs. back? I might try 245,45,18 and 265,40,18 I just dont know how well that tall of a tire will fit up front with it lowered. I dont think I want to do a 40 up front and a 35 out back, that seems alittle small imo, but i really dont know
thanks for your help!

245,40,18 and 265,40,18 would work good

[millertime]

245,40,18 and 265,40,18 would work good

and I agree, 45 all around would probably be a tad too big, and 35 in back is too small IMO, it also depends on what the stock size is, I know on the FD the stock 8 inch rims have 225 width tires all around, and right now with 8.5 up front and 9.5 in back it's 245/275 so you might be shooting a little wide.

you do know that on a 265 a 40 will be taller than it would on a 245 right?
this is my question I want the tires the same height, and the rating they use is a aspect ratio

i never said anything about sidewall height, only width

well If I change the width on 1 tire and its a different width on the other and I keep them both at 45 one will be taller than the other....

right :headslap: my bad

[Jesse]

40's would work fine but I'd go with some 35's on the rear. They won't be uneven, and if they are not noticeable. look in my sig - fronts 245/40/ rear 285/35

[matt]

well and I will have adjustable ride height so wheel gap with alittle uneven tires wont be too bad I can compensate for it

[Jesse]

generally speaking a 245/40 will have a smaller sidewall than a 265/40 because it is a partial hight, partial width rating. Just because the aspect ratios are the same doesn't necessarily mean they are dead on exactly the same sidewall height. When I went from 245/35's to 255/35's the 255's were taller

I thought we covered that fact already.

[matt]

I thought we covered that fact already.

yea I kinda thought we just went over that....
