New Rims time to get tires (question)

blown98gt · Mar 21, 2009

I just picked up a set of 18x9; 18x10 rear Black Chrome FR500 rims... my biggest question is, can a 305/35/18 MT tire fit on a 18x10 rear tire?

i'm currently running just standard chrome 17x9 cobra r rims and i am running a 275 rear tire but it's not enough meat...
also anyone running the 18x10 rear what size tires are you running..

thanks

Yes the 305 M/T will fit. Ive seen it on a 18x10 Saleen wheel.

+1 on 305s fitting, people put 315s and even 335s on some occasions on 18x10s without much trouble.

i'd really rather get 315/35/18 but i didn't know if they'd fit on the rim or not

As long as you are not too low... "Hell" a 315 might make it !

i've not lowered my car yet i am waiting on getting the tires mounted and all to see what kit i go with... although seems as though the Eibach pro kit is the one i'll go with.

here is current idea for setup.
Eibach pro kit (or)
MM Road & Track Springs
Swaybar End Link Kit
Bilstein Quad Shocks
Steeda Track Only Adjustable Upper Control Arms w/ Spherical Rod Ends

i might go lakewood struts

thoughts?

What do you have for rear LCAs? I wouldnt spent the money on the adjustable uppers just yet..

Also why Lakewoods (more drag oriented struts/shocks) with a set of lowering/handling springs?
