RE: need help with tire sizes

For 18's you need to drop another profile size, might wanna go with 255/40 in the front and 285/35 in the rear.

RE: need help with tire sizes

assuming you have a 89 lx... you DONT want 18's

just about every tire you will find will cause you to have rubbing problems

stick to a 245/45/17 - 275/40/17 combo.... you will be happier with the ride, and the way they fit as well
