MR_TRD Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MR_TRD Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hehe, thanks for the replies guys. Now the question is will a 245 rub the front? And will a 265 rub the rear or should it clear? Do you think the offsets i chose were right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
