Saleens

TClark22 · 01-22-2006, 03:29 PM

ok for those of you who have 18 x 9 saleens...

i know this has been asked plenty of times but what tire size would be best for the 18x9 saleens i am getting...

-255/35z/18
-265/35z/18
-275/35z/18

and i am putting them all around and i dont drag or anything so they dont need to be huge but i want more traction and a bigger tire than i have now...225/55/16

and whats a good brand to get...i am looking at the pirelli pzero but i dont know if they will last long or not...i really only want to spend 200 or below for each tire

i have 18x9 saleens all around and my tires are Kumho Ecsta MX's...my front size is 245/40/18 and my rears are 275/35/18 ...i really feel that this is the best combo that i could have purchased!! Not too big, not too small, but just right.

275 all around

just like thats been recommended for the previous one hundred and fifteen threads before yours asking the same exact question.

TClark22 · 01-23-2006, 04:51 PM

yes i know but will it rub when i get my eibach prokit?

and does anyone know where a step by step instruction manual can be found to put on eibachs or any springs on a v6?

and if i got say 265 would that be a better fit?

265's would look good too.

thanks for the help guys

Couldn't tell you, I haven't got the rims yet and I probably won't order the tires until March... but I'll tell you this much, I trust Lance =) Go for it buddy, go for the 265's

i have the eibach sport line springs and 275/35/18's all around and i have no problem at all with rubbing. I have the hancook ventus tires and i love them there tread wear is great and the tread design looks good.

TClark22 · 01-24-2006, 02:11 PM

would u happen to have any pictures of your wheel turn? or clearance of the wheels...or could u take pics of it

Milos · 01-25-2006, 02:29 PM

well I mean if you're dropped and you got large rims, like saleens, you're gonna rub but its only a matter of how much... the bigger the tire the more its gonna rub against the fender when you lock the wheel.... but its only rubber

*Lances03SVT* · 01-25-2006, 02:47 PM

You will be fine with the 265's.

Milos · 01-25-2006, 03:58 PM

I don't know this man but I trust his figures.. so thats why I'm going with the 265/35's

*Lances03SVT* · 01-25-2006, 04:06 PM

I will take pic's of my front's soon and post them for you guy's.
