Tire Question

[Scarface]

Ok have my Wheels and I am going to buy tires in a week or so just a couple of questions

I was going to use this setup

Front Tire Size: 235/40 18
Rear Tire Size: 295/45 18

The only problem I have is I can't find Drag radials in a 295/45 18. So what would it look like if I ran a 295/35 18 in stead of the 45?

Would this setup look ok?

Front Tire Size: 235/40 18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT
Rear Tire Size: 295/35 18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial

Thanks for all the help

Sorry for whoring your thread with bad posts, but I hit the wrong key three times. Anyways to answer your question. Here are the numbers for those size tires. I believe that they will look good with either rear tire choice.


235/40/18
Width 9.25
Sidewall 4.16
Diameter 26.33
Circumference 82.74

295/35/18
Width 11.61
Sidewall 4.06
Diameter 26.13
Circumference 82.12

295/45/18
Width 11.61
Sidewall 5.23
Diameter 28.45
Circumference 89.42

I deleted the posts. I think a 295/35/18 will look great on the back of your car. That is the size I run on my 4th gen.

I just wanted to makesure that it would look good with he front 235/40 18.

I am going to try and order them late next week but I propably will not get around to putting them on until I get my car back from the painter. I will post pics when I get it back

Thanks agin for all the info

A 235/40/18 is a relatively short tire at 25.4" (3.7" of sidewall). A 295/35/18 with an overall diamter of 26.1" will be a much better match as opposed to the 295/45 (which is 28.4" tall), IMO. The 295/45 would give you more of a modern pro-street look with the much taller sidewalls in the back, as opposed to a more balanced pro-touring look the 35s will give ya.

I have 285/35/18's on the rear of my car and 245/35/18's front, sorry no pics for now, but it looks perfect and very balanced. With that fat of a rear tire you will still have a nice 4" sidewall in the rear, don't worry about looks, it will look perfect.

That is good to hear so looks like I will be ordering them in a couple of weeks. If you have time get a pic of your car and post it I would like to see it

Thanks
