RE: Upset with tires, need soultions HELP!
I don’t mind the tires so much but the width in the back, they look too skinny for the rim. So I think I’m going to put the 265's NEXEN in the front and try and decide what to get for the back, I wanna go as wide as I can on my 18X10 rim and wont rub with 2" drop. Pilots are one of the few that look similar as far as tread pattern go and they are nice and wide, not sure how wide I can go though. I will post some pics to show you why they look to narrow in rear.

They are 265/35/18, but Maybe nexen has some weird way of measuring to make their tires cheaper and narrower? Any way does anybody have 315, or 335 tires on 10" wide rims, I wont some feedback if there any problem putting a 12.4 or 13.1 inch on a 10 inch rim.

code ran 335s on his, but had to roll the rear lips a little. 315s should work. You can probably keep the dampers on with 315s. I plan 315s when I change wheels with a 2 inch drop.

RE: Upset with tires, need soultions HELP!
What do you mean by roll the lip, the inner fender edge? Well anyway I’m pretty sure I know what I’m going to do. I will install my 2†drop when it arrives (which is taking for ever!!) but then check to see exactly how much room left, then probably go with the pilots sports 315, in the rear and move my 265 nexens up front. I will post pics on lowering before and after, and tire before and after. I will also order my SLPII cat back when I order the tires. But first I have to pay taxes that’s going to suck!!

I had 245's in the front of my GT with 275's out back, it looks good that way.
It's when you start messing with side wall height that it looks goofy.
