read my 1st post ;)

its already lowered 2 inches it hasn't been really driven in over 2 years... and the front end was off the ground a majority of the time... the springs just need to settle in and those wheels will nearly tuck ;)

275 what?
245 what?

Nice!... Did you have to roll the fenders in the front?.... Do you think 18x10 295/35 can fit in the rear?

I have 245/35/18s in the front, and 285/30/18s in the rear, 100% stock suspension, no probs in the rear at all. The front tires rub against the front fender lining during sharp turns, however (the fender lining that's in front of the tire, sitting between the tire and the engine bay)

What size rims do you have?

Do you think that 235/40/18 fit in the front with a 18X8 rim?

How about 295/35/18 on a 18X10 rim in the rear?

I have 8.5s in the front (the 245/35s) and 10s in the rear (285/30s)

Honestly man, for proper tire and rim size, I just go by what's posted by my tire manufacturer. I run Falken FK-451s, so if you go to http://www.falkentire.com/tires_451.htm and click on the "Click Here For Specs" button, it shows the list of tire sizes they have, and the accepted rim size for each.

According to Falken, for the FK-451 series, an 8.5" rim is ideal for a 235/40/18 tire, yet the acceptable range is 8.0" - 9.5".

I don't know about 295s, since they don't make anything larger than 285s, but for a 285/35/18, ideal is 10", acceptable is 9.5" - 11". For a 285/30/18, ideal is 10", but acceptable is 10" - 11". So I couldn't really tell you for sure about 295s, but it seems like a 295/35/18 *should* fit on a 10" rim. Looks like both your rims will be just enough... But I'd ask one of the resident tire & suspension gurus (in the suspension forum) to make sure...

I'm sure it will fit the rim..... I'm not sure if it will fit under the FD wheel wells front and back with out rolling the fenders......

What do you think?

What do you think?

I've heard 285s is the largest you can go on stock suspension. I have a pretty big gap in the back tho, so I'd think you could prob. sneak a 295/30. A 295/35, eh, I dunno. But seriously, I'm not the guy you wanna be asking about this. There are plenty of *much* more knowledgeable guys than me that you should be talking to.

Thanks for the info! It was helpful

too hung over to remember the other specs on the tires...

that should fit on the rear easily depending on the offset of the rim....
