Wondering what size tires to get. Ive picked out the gt4 wheels. 18-9 and 18-10..

Was quoted for.

255-45-18 nt555 up front..
305-35-18 nt555R in back.

How do you think this would look?

Thanks!

 

Fronts will be a little narrow imo I.would go with a 275

 

^^^i agree!! idk if they offer nitto any larger for the rear but you could push that to 315 if you wanted...nitto runs alittle narrow

 

Thanks guys. It has 275-45 on it now all the way around.. On the stock rims.. Will i have any fitting problems with the 305's? What about the 315s? I also just got the eibach lowering springs.. Was going to put them on and the wheels at the same time.. Are you saying i should go 275-35 up front or 275-45?

Thanks for your input.

 

I'd probably suggest a 265/35/18 up front (thinking about the 9" wide rim)...as far as the back I'm not sure I'd go any wider than a 305/35/18 because of the height of the tire and height of the car, since you've lowered it....but that's just me. I see people all the time putting tires that are too wide/big for the rims & car on and loving it.

I've got 18x11's on the rear of mine with 305/35/18 Mickey Thompsons, but they run wider that other 305's. When it's time to replace, I'll more than likely be going with a 315/35/18 Nitto DR.

If you haven't already bought something, you might go looking around on the various forums seeing the fitments on all the cars and when you see something you like try and ask the sizes.

 

265 or 275 up front are about the same (I've had both) ... 265's just a little shorter in dia. over the 275's

....305's good outback!!

 

no you wont have any fitment issues even with the lowering springs...the thickness of the front tire doesnt matter all that much it matters more in the rear...lower the profile the stiffer the tire is and the less traction you have
