Kirk Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Right guys i need a good set of tyres for my new wheels.. 8.5" front and 10" rear.. Im struggling to find a full set of matching, would prefer to have 235/245's on the front and 265/275s rear with a profile of 40 if i can... or should i get smaller profile for the rears??

Wez Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 235/45 front 275/40 rear , thats what i would go with personally So a stock sized front and huge rear, not the best combo Whats wrong with the stock sizes all round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 245/45/17 front 275/40/17 or 315/35/17 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) 235/45 front 275/40 rear , thats what i would go with personally well the r888s i got with them are 235/40 front and 275/40 Rear they are the 1s little num was running and he found that setup quite good! id probly feel more comfortable with a 245 or 255 front or maybe i should shrink the rear a bit?? but once again its trying to find tyres suitable and which are a good all rounder 315/35/17 rear geees its only an NA i want performance over looks so a 315 is out of the question Edited October 23, 2009 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I would go 235/45 front 275/35 rear. Stock 255's will be too small for a 10'' rear. Getting a 35 profile on the rear means you will be smaller in diameter than the original tyres by 36mm but if you went with a profile of 40 you'd end up 50mm larger than the original size, so a profile of 35 will see you closer to the original size.

Kirk Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 thanks for the input what about a 235/40 front rather than a 45, think 45 will be to much profile for even my likings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I run 235/40/17 on the front and 265/40/17 on the rear of my n/a, that seems to work quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
