k, this may be pretty redundant, but, what tire size should i go with if im going to put 18X8's all the way around? (fenders not rolled, and about a 1-1.5" suspension drop to come) |  |  | | 04-14-2010, 09:55 PM | #17 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Winnipeg Canada Posts: 45 |
or would it be that much more beneficial to go with an 18X9 rim in the rear? | | | | | 04-20-2010, 01:26 PM | #18 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Maryland Posts: 265 |

I got some 18x9 rims for the rear im on stock ride height whats the widest tire i can fit without rolling my fenders. I wanted to go 265/35/18 but dont know if i would have to roll the fenders. I know maybe a 255/35/18 tire would fit with out rolling the fenders. But i would like to go 265. | | | | | 05-11-2010, 01:05 AM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |

Couldn't justify going with the nice aftermarket mounts, just went with stockers, nor could I justify spending $140 more than I paid to get Bilsteins. I should take a video of it bouncing __________________

the E.T. on the new back wheels is 38. If i go 255/35 would it still rub? | | | | | 05-11-2010, 06:27 AM | #28 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Rocky Hill, CT Posts: 1,065 |
Hmm, didn't know that Tony. I would up paying $30 each, so not bad IMO. $100 shipped for the two shocks and two mounts.
What suspension will you be running. I know stock ET is around that, but a 255 would definitely not fit if you're as low as me with ET38, since that'd push it out more than the ET44 I have tried on prior. __________________

I'm running an Active suspension but almost evrything is new. I'm not lowered at all but I want to go with a 255/35/18 in the back with an ET 38 rim. I just don't want to rub. I'm not thinking about lowering it anytime soon because everything is still new just replaced everything on the suspesnsion. | | | | | |
