Whats the smallest tire to slap on a 18x9 wheel?
I have 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear. iam going to get 315's inthe rear. but i want the smallest tire in the front so that it would REALLY look offset to the rear.
and does anyone have any pics of really small tires for 18x9 wheels?
right now iam running 235/40/18 in the front:

I wouldnt go much smaller than 235 on a 9 inch rim....You can fit 315s on the back??I have 10 rear rims and the exhaust is very close now cant imagine it with that much wider tire.I can see in the picture your front tires appear that the sidwall goes up at an angle instaed of straight which can cause premature wear and pulling in ruts id stick 245 and up
