Need Pics/Size of Tires on 18x9.5 Rim...Also, Tire Setup Help!
 

Does anyone have pics on how a 245/35 and 225/40 tire look on a 18x9.5 rim?

I'm trying to get a perfect set of tires for my new rims... they are 18x8.5/18x9.5, I would like a slight stretch for the fitment on the rims i have!

I could either go:
215/40/18 - Front
245/35/18 - Rear

or

215/40/18 - Front
225/40/18 - Rear

Both of these tire sizes are recommended specs by TireRack and Discount Tire Co.

what car is this going on???

hopefully not an ES300???

it's going on my is300

oh thank god...

what are your offsets... go with the widest tire you can without rubbing... period... unless you need a stretch to make it fit, it just looks silly IMO...

lol, its +40 F / +45 R...

if you put stretched tires on those wheels and they are sunken in like they are going to be with those offsets, its going to look silly...

to prevent it from looking silly you can either run a spacer to get them out to where you need to run stretched tires, or just run a wider tire to start... I'm thinking 225/40-18 front, 265/35-18 rear...
