Default Help with Tire Size

Ok I want to put 18" wheels on the car, but I dont know what sizes to get.

I like Rygen's look with the Back tires being bigger than the front, but I'm not sure if that would work out so well for me in the long run (b/c if you need to rotate them u cant cuz of the size differences).

So what tires sizes to u guys suggest??? any help would be appreciated.

when you do a mod like this, rotating tires go out the window.. the reason for rotations is to distribute wear paterns all over the rubber.. your RR tire has a specific wear property compared to the RF tire.. when you get diff sizes.. wear them out and change them


for your 18's i recomemd 235/40/18 in front and 255/40/18 in the back

one day when i can afford it thats what ill be doing

youll have that 10"fat tire in the back

I have 245/40/18 all around and they look really good but I like what blackfoot said that sounds like a cool setup!
