What size tires ?

(1/3) > >>

K,

I've ordered new Rims American Racing Rally 18" x 8" with standard back spacing i.e. 4"

The question is what size tyres to fit?

Currently running 225/70/15 on 15 x 8" rims and want to keep the same stance so ???



I read on other forums that the most popular choice seems to be 245/55/18 front & 255/55/18 rears with standard off set trailing arms ???

Any actuals out there ?

Hey Bob is that metric or imperial ?

craigh:
45 not 55 profile Jethro :-)

sabre:
Did the maths and to keep the same rolling diameter a 255 needs a 52 profile and a 245 needs a 54.  Of course actual varies with brand but between 45 and 55 is in the ball park.
