The "Will it fit?" thread

ChaseZ · 05-18-2016, 10:35 AM

2016 Base on stock rims and keeping them that way.

However, I can't stand stretch tires look myself, and need some wider meat to fill the wheel well.

Front: 225/50R18 on 18x8
Rear: 245/45R18 on 18x9

Tentative plan: Swap the current rears to the front and buy wider rears.

Front: 245/45R18 on 18x8
Rear: 295/40R18 on 18x9

Is the 295 pushing it? Stock suspension for now. Wouldn't mind a subtle drop but will see how the swap fills the wells first. I prefer square edge, or even a slight little bulge to stretched. There aren't a lot of 295's in that size so perhaps a 285 instead?

Thanks appreciate the input

Anyone with a similar setup by chance?

245/45 & 275/40's are my combo on stock base wheels...the 275 is about peak with the Nitto 555 G2's@11" section & 10" tread/ measuring the gap between beads is 9", they were a tighter fit than the 275/40 F1 Goodyears before.
245's go easily on the 8" wheel.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you

Hi guys..

Ok 20x10 +28 fronts. And 20x11 +15. I assume both clear akebonos. .. on swifts... what tire sizes are recommended so there is no rubbing... thanks!

TerribleONE · 05-20-2016, 10:58 AM

295s are way too much tire for a 9" wheel.

Advice Z family...

So it seems that 265(35)/305(30) is the size of choice for 9.5/10.5

What would y'all run on 9.5/11?

I run 265/35 and 305/30 RE-11s on my 9.5 and 11 Work wheels. The pics below were taken before the ride height and camber were adjusted. A different brand of tires will also provide a slightly different stretch.

Looks good thanks for the pics.

I prefer my tires to have somewhat of a "square" look. Looking at the pics I posted, I'm pretty sure a 10mm wider tire front and rear on the same width wheels will fit, and may even look better. Again, tires of a different brand will look differently.

jchammond · 05-20-2016, 01:40 PM

I'm thinking more of a 19x9,11 combo w/265 or 275's up front & 325's back

325 will be too tall.. 26.3 and 26.7 seems like a 315 may work but too bad there's nothing available in that size

325/30/19@26.7"Diameter is factory height DW!
only 2.7% difference if i choose this Route (3%max) ; I just may like a slight rake on my Stock Ride Height,-1* camber on all 4 corner ~Z~

Factory height for 245/40 on a 9. The rear is smaller overall.
