What size tires??

Im getting ready to purchase 18x8s and 18x9s.

What size tires should I run on each?? I want the BEST RIDE!!! I want enough of a tire to stick out so I dont scrap curbs but not to where it looks bloated!!

Also what size sidewall would be better? 35 or 40?

I am lowered on Strano Springs and Konis SA shocks BTW!!

Thanks!!

well being that you got a 8" wide wheel up front, and a 9" out back...it would look wierd if you put the same width tire on all 4. The afore mentioned sizes would be the best combo IMO also.

if you go with the 245/45/18 and 275/35/18 the front tire will be almost 1 inch taller. I would go with this 245/40/18 and 285/35/18. and you can get nitto 555 in the fornt and 555r in the back for around $775 from discount tire direct. nitto does not make a 275/35/18 dr so thats why i would go with the 285 which they do make.
