Staggered wheels
 

Well my plan is 17x9 up front and 18x10DD in the rear. I need some tire sizes that will compliment this. Im goin with Nitto 555r tires. Need help on picking the sizes. i was thinking P305/45R18 and P275/40R17. how would that look? Do i need differnt size side walls or what. I really suck at picking tires out :(

That's alot of sidewall for the rear!!

I'd say 255/40/17 for the front and 315/30/18 for the rear.I would'nt go taller than a 35 for the rear!!

If they don't make a 315 in the 555's go with a 295/35/18.

The problem im having is finding the sizes i need in tires. Like one brand will have the front but not the rears and vice versa. What are some good brands you recommend.This is my DD i see the track maybe 5 times a year.

I found some bf goodrich Gforce T/A KD in the sizes i need. I guess i will go with those.

for the...

Rear Tires:BFG Drag Radials in 315/30x18 or the BFG KDW2 in 295/35x18
Front Tires: BFG KDW2 in 255/45x17 or BFG KDW 275/40x17

you can tell i like the BFG tires huh?haha

if u wanna stay fairly cheap...Kumho ECSTA MX
295/35x18 (rear)
255/45x17 or 275/40x17 (front)

if this confuses you at all...just pm me and i can help you out...personally i would go w/ the 295 series tires cause they are street radials...not drag radials

I see themon tirerack. I found BFG KDW2 in 255/40YR17 and BFG KDW2 in 295/35YR18 . How does that sound?

sounds like tire sizes. :tongueout:

you can go 275/40/17 up front.

well they dont make the 275/40x17 in the KDW2. I want matching tires lol

yeah matching tires are a plus.

I had to edit my post above about the sieze i found. i found 255/40YR17 and 295/35YR18. Think that will work out well?

go 275/40/17 in the front

i cant find a place that sells the 275/40x17 in the KDW2 tires.

theres the KDW, not the KDW2...are they that much different in looks?

Yea a good bit differnt. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/BigPic...ce+T%2FA+KDW+2

yup, thats hella different.

hmm...do you HAVE to have the KDW2's...are they that important to you?

Well they look badass and i hear they hook like crazy for a street tire. What suggestions do you have for the sizes i need?

well, I run 17's all around. and Im cheap when it comes to tires. I use Sumitomos. Michelin makes some killer tires, but not in any cool sizes.

Well im goin for the staggered look so i need 17 in the front and 18's in the rear. I also need a tire that will hook well on the streets. Since i will be making a decent amount of power down the rd. on order already is my MMR shortblock good for 900hp. My goal is 650hp safley for dd. I will get that from the help of a KB SC.

sounds like a beast...I have a barely modded GT. so the Sumi's are enough for me.

you might want to do BFG's Drag Radials out back if your makin that much power.

I can find my rear tires easily but everyone keeps telling me i need a 275 for the front but i have trouble finding them that will match my rears.

well if you have drag radials out back...ppl who know, understand its not a good tire for the front...so youll be fine. the tires are just gonna wear out and look like sh!t anyway.

Very True i could run the 275/40x17 KDW and run a set of 315/30x18 drag radials out back.

with all that power, thats what I would do.
