What size tire do I need?
Just got a set of ADR M Sport rims 35 offset and I was wondering what is the best size tire to run on them without rubbing. They are 18 by 8.5 in the front and 18 by 9.5 in the back. I want drag radials in the back and just something ok in the front. I am ready to put them on but have no idea what size is good to run so I figured i would ask all of you who know. thanks

The offsets on those wheels are too low for the FD. Your best fitment option is going to be 225/40 front, 265/35 rear. If you are lowered, you are probably going to rub up front.
I suggest getting a matched set of good tires, instead of doing what you suggested. If you don't, your handling will suffer. Besides, they don't tend to make a lot of drag radials in low profile 18" sizes....

I have a t 66 turbo and it seems like alot of weight was taken out of the front of the car. i am not lowered at all so I guess I wil go with the sizes you gave me. As long as I am not lowered they will fit though right?
