Bluesoarer Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I just bought new rims and I need tires. They are 18x8 front 18x9 rear. I have been reading in all magazines that if you have staggared rims you put 40 series in front and 35 series in the back. Now how does this work? I called a tire place for tires and they told me that I should put 265 40 in the rear and 245 40 in the front. But looking up tire track website it recommeds 145 40 front and 265 35 in rear. What is you guys input of that. I never got staggared rims before and I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 A good size for those widths are 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rear. If you ran 265/40s in the rear, the total outer diameter would not match up with the fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 For 8 wide and 9 wide that is right on. What neo said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
