Tire size

einehund · 12-05-2007

i'm getting 4 18x9's for my stang, but what size tire do you recommend for that rim so i can look up what is available.

Intmdtr · 12-05-2007

295/35/18 for the rear, i wouldn't go much bigger then 255's on the front...i had 275's on front and had to switch to 255's

einehund · 12-05-2007

what about 255 35 for front and 275 35 for the back? they don't have the g-force sport above 275 and my wife will blow a gasket if the tires are over 200 a pop.

Intmdtr · 12-05-2007

ya, i have 275's on the back of mine right now, they should fit nicely, as for the 35's in the front.......might be a bit small, do they list a 40 or 45?

einehund · 12-05-2007

americanmuscle.com is saying 265/35. would a 265 work on front without rubbing? damnit...now discount tire's site is FUBAR. get back to you on the 40 or 45....

Intmdtr · 12-05-2007

i had the 265's on the front that i tried from a friends back tires and they did rub....i have a 1 1/2" drop, but even the 255's or the rims...one of the 2 still rub at max turning radius.

einehund · 12-05-2007

what size rim where you running?

Intmdtr · 12-05-2007

running the 9" Cobras.... so to let ya know...now i am running the 255/45/17's on front and 275's 35 17's on back

einehund · 12-05-2007

what is the offset? i mean backspace...whatever, you know what i mean. cause if the offset is less + or the backspace is less, they might not rub. cause these are +24mm offset, and 5.94" backspace.

Intmdtr · 12-05-2007

Hmmmmm good question....anyone with a cobra know what the backspacing is....for some reason 26mm is ringing a bell
