_Shane_ Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Lads just a quick question there for ye regarding tyre size for new wheels I would like the side wall pretty much flush with the alloy itself, most of my alloys i had over the years all the tyres seemed to be that of a stretched effect The wheels are 18 x 11 on the rear and the front are 18 x 9 I would like the tyres to have side wall flush with the alloys, would a 275 on rear be enough or would i need to go wider? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance From what I've seen, there are ideal sizes, but different tyres seem to sit differently on the wheel even at the same sizes.

listy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have 275 on my spare rear wheels, (10j) and they sit flush with the rim. I used to have 295 35 19 on the rear, and they also sat flush with the rim. As Josh said though, a lot of it depends on the tyre brand you get.

_Shane_ Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 ah ok then thanks for the info guys, i didnt think a tyre brand would effect whether the tyre wall sat flush or stretched Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) The tyre brand will make a difference The weds sa-70's in my garage were 10" rears on a 285 Goodyear Eagle F1, to give you an idea.
