Hey guys,

 

So I ordered rims. They are Lenso PD01 18" 9J ET40 front and 10J ET36 Rear. What tyres should i put on these bad boys?

 

I have been searching but there is alot of contradicting evidence.

 

I saw something like 235/40/18 and 265/35/18?

 

Would this be correct?

 

Thanks Guys

Ideally, you are looking at 235/245 front and 255/265 rear, profile is more up to you, personally I'd be looking at 35 front and back but it depends how firm/soft you like the car to ride and how much sidewall flex you find best suits your driving.
