JDHayes · 06-01-2006

I just got a set of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...69917049QQrdZ1
and I want to get a wide tire with a good V-tread, what should I look for?

So did you get the 9 or 10 inch width?

they are 9in in front and 10 in back right? if they are the you can run as low as 265/35/18's in the back but those are small. those are what cam with my tires. Im going to put those on my 9in rims and 285/35/18's on the back. those will fit good on the rims and protect them a bit also. you just have to shop around because these tires can get pretty expensive. im going to get toyo proxys for my rear tires.

I have 295/35/18 in the back of my car. They are Toyo proxes T1-S. But they cost me 500 for the back mounted and everything and 400 for the front.

Can i put a 245 40 18 on a 9" rim in front and a 275 35 18 on a 9" rim out back or would it look better on a 10" rim? tire rack calls for 9.5" rim so which rim would the 275 look wider and better on?

A 9" rim would make the tire budged out around the rim more then the 10" wheel would. But either one should work but I think a 10" would be better what if you want to go wider in the future.
