Im getting KMC Condor Chrome 18x9 inch RWD with Toyo Proxes 255/55/18... This setup will clear in the front without rubbing? My springs arnt altered at all yet had my suspension redone a few weeks ago..

 

I would go with 255/40/18s up front. and a 275/40/18 in rear. I know a 275/35 is exactly the same diameter as the stock 245/50/16 but I like a little more side wall than the 35 out back.

 

I was about to say why do you want 55 to go with 18's??

the whole point is less sidewall more rim when yu go bigger.

get ---/40/18's and you'll be ok.

 

that's a huge tire....depends on the offset of your rims but you could rub depending on where your car sits height wise.

next time use one of these tire calculators...

I Love that thing, I use it all the time. it is saved in my "favorites" I was going over a bunch of sizes last night becasue I am going to go with some 18x10s in the back soon.

 

i dont know anything about tire sizes lucky u guys caught that for me i just figured it automatically had lowpros or something that would be decent... i have no idea what tires to get with my condors... the stealths are also a possibility.. someone direct me a link to decent sized tires for my 18's so that i can still lower my ride a bit.. xxx/xx/18's dont mean much to me
my spending limit is 2,000 found the condors for 1,340 free shipping. anyone know of better priced site?

leaves me 680 dollars for tires.. not a big budget but its what i got

 

 

i feel kinda stupid answering my own questions dont mind me but i think im gonna go with the Falken FK-451 245/40/18 seems to be almost exactly the same as stock size wheels radius wise. does 245/40/18 gonna be a good choice to go with my 18's?

thnx again for the help guys

:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

255/40/18 up front and 275/40/18 in the back will be the best with those rims. if you can only afford 245 all around go with 18x8 inch rims.

 

alright i tried to find those sizes u mensioned but they dont have 1 of the sizes u mensioned in falken brand

how about this
255/35/18 in front and 275/35/18 in back would that work alright? it matches stock specs perfectly.. everything should clear correctly

ide go with 18x8 if they came that way they are 18x9 only unless i goto 20's but then we are talking a whole new ballgame

 

As I said before. I wouldn't go with a 35 series at all. Especial for the front. you are spending a nice bit of cash on new rims and I assume you want them to last and not get all dented up. I hope your roads are perfect. If not I would go with a 255 or 245/40/18 on an 8" in front and a 275/40/18 on a 9" or 9.5" in the rear. Go check out Nolars ride. He has 275/35/18s in the back and he said he wishes he would have gotten a little more side wall. It will protect the rims better too.

 

the condors only come in 9 inch wide. im getting a 4 rim package..
im trying to work with what ive got here

if 35 profile is too low then the 40s dont come in 255/40/18 inch

unless i get something like this in front 245/40ZR-18 93Y B and maybe 275/40ZR-18 99Y B in rear if im not mistaken that should work alright also how does that sound?


i apologize if ive seemed short with you guys at all this wheel sizing is killing me i appretiate all your help and am planning on returning the favor another day somehow.

 

dont go with falken then. 35 is too small.

the best deal i could find on tirerack.com using name brand tires would be 180 for each tire at 275/40/18...Kumho ecsta MX

maybe you should wait and either buy the rims now and save for tires, or just wait til you can afford everything at once...i highly reccomend not skimping on something like this...youll definetely regret it.

 

haha read the post above yours decided not to go 35 found some good 40s setup :hail:

front 245/40ZR-18 93Y

rear 275/40ZR-18 99Y

 

Checkthis

 

oops forgot image
Also! I found my condors 18x9's for $999.00 free shipping! Thats better then the $1,300.00

 

ahh , the joys of having 18's.You gotta love the price of them .

 

does this look like a better setup of tires for my 18x9s?
i was hoping for a thumbs up or something so i could order them tonight... I dont wanna order the wrong stuff...

 

yes those SHOULD be fine, i know theyll fit on the rim...wether or not the front tire will rub at full turn I dont know. but thats more of an offset question.

 

thank you camaro mayhem that confirms my order for me

appretiate all the help guys opinions always help...
cant wait for those hardcore 3rdgeners to flame me to death that i should have just polished my stocks and that mine dont look right on my car.. well we will see what happens...

:yourock:

 

i like the rims, i just hope the offset works for you and they dont stick out too far. the 245 will fit on the rim i just hope it isnt stretched but with a 40 series i doubt it will be that much. the cost of 18's is so much it sucks to see them get bent the first time you go over a pothole.

 

good choice

 

BFGoodrich KDWS all the way.

 

I second the BFGoodrich KDWS choice. I have run two sets of them. Excellent tires in dry and especially in wet!

 

tires came UPS yesterday ill post pics of them... probably nobody cares but anyways called rimgod.com and they said my rims would be here monday so.... im gonna call into work late and get my tires/rims balanced, and aligned this monday... i cant wait
