Tire Suggestions (18x9/18x10)

The debat is whether to get a directional tire or a non directional tire. If you are running this set up what tires are you guys going with and how well are they holding up. The non directional tires seem to be on the pricey side so I dont know what to go with, being I would like to be able to rotate them side to side at least. And if you if you guys are running directional tires how noisey are they, and do they get feathered/chopped easiley? I plan on running 255/45/18 in the front and 285/40/18 for the rears.

Thanks Ricky

Sounds good to me, but I would go 255/35R18 in front and 295/40R18 in back. I can't help you with the rest because I still have the PZERO NEROS.

I am running 18x9's all the way around w/ 255's up front and 285's out back. Overall, Im pretty happy with that setup. My car handles much better through the corners. Although, I can feel the added weight.

RE: Tire Suggestions (18x9/18x10)

your 255/45 and 285/40 is perfect..and the rear will be almost the same Diameter as stock so your Speedo will be fine...I have the same size wheels in the Mail as we speak I am going with BFG KDW 2 Tires..
A 295/40 would be perfect but they dont make it..Only Falken as a competition tire...Dont go with a 35 Series..Stick with what you said..

I'm running Nitto's (well, during the summer), 255s up front and 285s out back. I figured since I was going staggered, I wasn't going to worry about rotating side to side as I understand it won't do much anyway. I was going to get the BFG KDWs but I've read they're pretty noisy.

The wheel and tire sizes you have listed are aperfectly staggered combo and it will keep your overall diameter at 27inch tall which is same as stock. No speedo changes neccessary. You are good to go.
