New wheels/tires this summer, need opinions!

padge · Apr 14, 2009

I originally had a ton of questions here, (thanks for pointing that out dafizuck), so I narrowed it down.

I want to get these rims, but not sure if I should get 18x9's all around with spacers (for rotating tires), or if I should get the 18x10's as well.

Also, does anyone have the Sumitomo HTRZ II tires and how do they like them? Would Nitto 555's be a better choice? Thanks.

I wanted to help you out... too many questions though. All I can say is that I had 17x9s for a while and kicked myself everytime I walked to my car. DDs are required.

18x9 & 18x10.5's

here's a pic of mine without any wheel spacers or anything...

you'll regret not doing the steam rollers in the back. the nittos are going to out perform the sumitomos on dry roads but the sumis will be a bit better in the rain.

All my tires are the same so I can have them rotated! I cannot afford not to do this. I never really got the point of deep dish, either. I'm doing 17" Saleens to keep my spare, too.

I have no advice on the tires. I only buy BFG.

I just got the 18X9/18X10 with the Sumi's. Have not pot them on yet but will post here after I do.

Thanks for the replies guys. Another question...

I have been considering not getting new rims, and just getting some new tires with some spacers on the back. I think I have the 16x8 pony rims, what size of spacer would I have to get if I go this route? 1.5"?

Thanks!
