Spacer Thoughts...
 
Okay so I'm new to the boards first off, looks like you guys know your stuff so here goes...I currently have DD 18x10s on the rear and standard lip 18x9s up front, would 1" spacers be pointless already having this set-up? The tires in back are 275/35 and 245/40 in the front. Forgive the idiocy of the question.

Pointless IMHO. You should have a 295 or a 305 on the rears and proabably 255 - 275's on the front.

I figured as much. Moral of the story is to get bigger tires for the wheels I have basically? Thanks btw

The larger tire will certainly fill in the wheel wells more correctly, and proportion things better. IF you were to do any kind of a Spacer the largest I would go would be 1/2" on each side in the back, but I'm just not a big fan of spacers.

No idea what kind of wheels you have...

This is my car. 17/9's on the front with 275's and 17/10.5's in the back with 315's.

Awesome looking ride, that's the look for sure. So I have 18x9 bullitts up front, and 18x10 DD bullitts in back. I've been looking around the boards and maybe 295s in back and 265s up front would work?

Thank you. :cool:

I'd go with 255-265 in the front. I feel like my 275's in the front are just a tiny bit too big. And 295 or 305 in the back.

The front number was more or less ballpark 255-65 or so sounds better to me also. I'll do some shopping around with those numbers in mind. Really appreciate the help thanks!
