    Default Need help with tire size / brand

    ok, rims

    18x8.5 front
    18x9.5 rear

    What would be a good size? looking for low profile, car sits really really low

    any suggestions on brands?

    had Federals on my 240 and absolutely loved them, tread wear ROCKED, hard compound, great for drifting

    Any one else have any other brands they suggest?



    And sorry i posted this twice, didnt know there was a place to post tire and wheel questions

    For that size wheel setup with your car, I would say run a 225-40-18 in front and 255-35-18 out back or 245-40-18 in back. Can't really rec. a decent tire in the range you provided for price.

    yea i run stock 17x7 225/45/17 and just barely pull off a decent tire in that price range. Tire rack has the fuzion ZRi for 93 in the 225/40/18 size. Very cheap and id have to say the best tire for the money. I ran 512s before and they sucked!!! The fuzion are just as good as my old bridgestone 750s and cost twice as much. The only thing i dont like about them is they will squeal, but they do grip. Best bang for the money!
