Default 18X10 Rim tire size

Hey I am about to buy some 18x10 deep dish for the rear of my 6. the front will be 18X9. Can I put the same size tire on the front and the back? Like 275/35? or will this look stupid on the deep dish if they even fit them.

You can do it, but there really wouldn't be any point to it. The reason you get the wider wheels is so you can get that staggered look with wider tires on the back...

No. Not with a 9 inch rim in the front and 10 in the back.

If you have to go 9" in the front (I would go 8"), do 275/40/18 in front, and 315/35/18 in the back.

Why would you put that wide of a tire on the front?

I run a 275 front and a 305 rear on mine. A 265 won't be wide enough and it will look funny.

I just bought those rims so I should put 275/45/18 on the front and 305/45/18 on the back?

I said 275 on front cause he wants a 9"rim on the front. Which is stupid, but whatever. If he put an 8" which makes more sense, I'd recomend 245/45/18.

I run a 9" front, but only because they don't make a 7 or 8 inch in my GT40 wheels
