another rim tire question
 

Hey I searched but couldnt find something specific I am running a staggared 2IS wheel set up thats 18x8 and 18x8.5 rear. I want to eliminate the need for front spacers so I am going to buy two 18x8.5 rears and throw them up front so ill be 18x8.5 all around. Question is has anyone tried to run 255/40/18s up front? I would love to be able to rotate my tires at oil changes again expecially since my new found camber in the rear after my drop.

Worst case scenario I guess I could do 245 up front and 255 in the back. I think the combo of a half inch wider up front and 20-30mm wider tire will be flush enough for my front to ditch the 25mm spacer.

Let me know your thoughts. I also have the Wald style lip kit coming in so I can hopefully get all these changes done around the same time :)

I think 20s would look good with the body kit

not switching the wheels since I only need one more rear 18x8.5 to complete the set (and then ill sell a set of 4 18x8s to make up some of this cash), just need to know if 255s will rub or not. I also think that the ride is rough enough with the drop so 20s would make it even worse.

Just a thought! If you already have the 255/40/18s for the rear why not put them on the front and the fronts on the rear, try them before buying more wheels and tires. I wouldn't run that set up for too long, just to see if it works. I know it's more work but could save you some bucks in the long run. Then you would know for sure.

yea looks like i am going to have to do that since apparently no one on here has ever run a 255 tire up front. I know the rim itself is fine.

Without spacers, there should be plenty of room left.

thanks ill test fit one tomorrow just to be safe but I think your right, by the way guys Im selling a set of four of the chrome IS wheels 18x8 all around which match the oem wheel size for those of you who do not want to derive from oem specs but want a better look compared to pie plates.
