275x35x18 on front and 265x40x18 on back will these 2 sizes be close enought in size to not mess up the ABS & TCS.
I normally use BF goodrich 275x35x18 however these tires are on a national backorder unknow when there available.
I have a rear tire w/ tread coming off so it's kindof an emgergency.
car is a 99 TA
Thanks

next time I'll get a 275x40x18 and just keep them on the back.
I bet you have a smoother (softer ride w/ the 40s)?
I also think a 40 series on the back will hook better since there's a little crincal effect.
plus I bet it helps a little fill the fender gap.
post up some side view images of the wheels.
how are you liking you'r power steering pump was it brand new and was it expensive?
I feel my pump is going south it makes a slite grinding noise.
PS I see you finally got a cam how are you liking the extra power?
Thanks

I originally went with the 275/40/18 in the rear because I needed some less expensive tire at the time, and I ended up really liking the look better, so I've stuck with the 275/40/18's for the rear.
The ride's a little softer, but not much.
Check my Photo albums to, I've got a bunch of pictures.

The TurnOne PSP is nice, no more steering noise, or fluid pushed out the lid, the steering's a little heavier but I like it that way, but it's pricey $315(w/billet pulley). I just put it on about a month ago.
Yeah the additional power's really nice, along with the sound!![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
BTW, how long have you had your SSR wheels?
I've had mine since 1999, there really good wheels!

hey bluz28 I'm looking to get new tires for my car i see you have 275/40/18 on your car. the car looks good just wondering is the car lowered at all, or do they fit under the wheel well that good. I like the look alot, trying to accomplish the same with my 97 z28. can list what you have done there as far as wheels tires, and springs. thanks

It's lowered , the 275/40/18s will get rid of 1/2" of normal tire gap, but i only have them in the rear since I'd have issues with it rubbing up front with it lowered. I've got a bunch of suspension photo's in my albums also.
Up front Ground control adjustable kit w/ 625lb.in. springs and the Upper Mount Mod and Koni SA's, in the rear Koni SA's w/shaft mounted bumpstops, and RideTech Coolride air bag kit w/manual air valves. So I can adjust the rear ride height up/down within minutes if I want. Right now the front is about 1/2" lower than in the photo.

Btw, the rear would be at 26" w/stock height tires, and the front ride height is currently about .5" lower than in the photo.
