285/35/18 plus more questions!!
I'm getting the Privat Profil 18X9.5 for my WS6
I was wondering if I should go:
1.)285/35/18 all 4 corners
2.)275/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear
3.)275/35/18 all 4 corners
What would be the best setup..
FWIW I run 26X10X15 in slicks/26in skinnies when I race the car so I wanna stay close to that hieght when coparing both sets of wheels.
Last question,Has anyone heard of the tube K-members/A-Arms and Hal coil overs hitting the bigger rims/tires.I thought I read that they didnt clear on some applications?
Todd or Kevin or anyone else please help.

We all want the tougher, bigger rear tire! You can always "cross-rotate" the fronts and rears to increase mileage on the tires.
(Cross-rotate is when you remove the tire from the rim, flip it, balance it, and then install it on the other side of the car. That way the tire is still going the proper direction, but now on the other side of the car.)

Hey Joel... I am waiting for my rims to be delivered, but they are 18x9 HP Lightnings. I have the Nitto 555s in 275/35/18s going on all four corner to be able to rotate when neccesary.
I hope to be at the Hooters in Bensalem on July 28th if you wanna see how they look (18s on all fours) in person. Let me know.... I'll buy you a coke and fries and shoot the **** about old times.

Factory height is 25.7".
275mm x 40% = 110mm x ~.04 inches = 4.4" x 2 = 8.8" (tire) + 17" (rim) = ~25.7 inches
285mm x 40% = 114mm x ~.04 inches = 4.56" x 2 = 9.12" (tire) + 17" (rim) = ~26.1 inches

I ordered A Set of Privat Profil 18X9.5 Saturday for my T/A. DTD Cut me a good Deal on the Wheels So I went ahead and ordered the Tires from there too. I wanted the GoodYear GS-D3 but, DTD doesn't carry it in the 285 Size. I ended up with the Falken GR Beta FK-451 in a 275/35/18-285/35/18 Combo.
anyway, dropped a tad over $1800.00 w/TT&L and RoadHazard. Not too bad I guess (as long as tires don't suck)
