I NEED WHEEL N' TIRE SIZE HELP PLEASE!!! I'm wanting to get billet specialties wheels. I was wondering if I can go 18x10 all the way around, if not, maybe I"ll do 18x9 all the way around. 2 questions,
1.) if I go 18x9, what size nitto tires do I exactly need, what backspacing should I get with the wheel?
2.) if I go 18x10, what size nitto tires do I exactly need, what backspacing should I get with the wheel?
Thanx in advance, Mikie

Re: I NEED WHEEL N' TIRE SIZE HELP PLEASE!!! i really cant help, but do you want your 18" tires to be as tall as the factory tires, or do you want them to be taller?

Re: I NEED WHEEL N' TIRE SIZE HELP PLEASE!!! I'd say stay away from a 10" wide rim for the front of the car.
275/35ZR18 will work great on a 9" wide wheel, and still be the same overall diameter as stock.
Offset, maximum of 50 mm. Which is stock for a SS wheel.

Re: I NEED WHEEL N' TIRE SIZE HELP PLEASE!!! 18x9 with 275-35-18
18x10 with 285 or 295/35-18 are your best bets.
Probably about a +45/+55 offset up front and +60 on the rear.
Let me know if I can help.
Oh ya, if you want Nittos...youll have to do the 275/285 combo like I have.

I heard from Lou at LG Motor that a smaller sized tire on the front is better anyways due to our cars oversteer.. anyways, i think it would look better on the sidewall.. JMO
