is this fine?
time to get tires, tread is getting bad...
will offset tires look good? 245/45/17 (front) 315/30/18 (back) would this be alright? and id also be getting lowering springs, whats best choice for springs when doing offset sizes tires? |
As long as the tire diameter is relatively the same between the front and rear, you'll be fine. Just look at the tech specs. Also, there's only a few tires that are offered in 315/30/18.
One of which is BFG DR which has horrible treadwear for a DD and bad in rain. The other is Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. Prolly the greatest street tire out there, BUT 400 bux PER TIRE. You'd be better going with a 295/35/18 |
245/45/17front
295/35/18rear and yea, i dont wanna spend 400 a pop for rear tires...lol im lookn to spend 140ish PER rear tire... i hope that front size is fine... and wut would be best springs to get for the tire sizes im getting? (cause some springs lower 1 1/2 inches on each, others do offset...) |

Did a real quick search. Cheapest tire I've found in 295/35/18 is $236
|
No doubt!!
A 295/35/18 is not cheap. |
lol ok, i kno the front will be cheap, but i guess cheap fronts and expsnive backs? lol...
but im fo sho getting fr500's :) will the offset look mean lowered and with fr500s? |
Yes it will look good.I would go 275/40/17's in the front though.
|
well, my dad MADE me buy 1 tirecause my front passanger was ready to "blow" as he put it, so i had to buy a tire that size, figured id buy another one, put those 2 in front, then get nice ones in the rear...
|
hey, is this alright or spend more and get BFGs?
Kumho ECSTA MX Blackwall 2x 295/35YR18 ($216.00each) 2x 275/40YR17 ($139.00each) 767.15 = tires 669.96 = rims 1437.11 = total |
I've heard mixed reviews of the MX. For about the same price you could get BFG KDW2's. I know they're almost identical in pricing with 18" sizes, not sure about that 17" size. I speak only on what I've heard, but my good friend works at Tire Kingdom so I get a lot of good opinions from him.

looked on tire rack for the 17s for KDW2s and didnt found any...found KDWSs but not KDW2s in that size but did find 18s...
