I recently just ordered Kumho Ecsta MX tires from tirerack. These are the sizes i ordered (2) 245/40/18 and (2) 275/40/18. I then got an email stating that the tire sizes are shorter than recommended and that i should be using different sizes. What sizes should i go with? i have 18x9 saleens, and a eibach pro kit drop. What sizes would work best without rub?? thanks

 

I'd say go with the 275/40/18's all the way around.

 

I shouldn't have any problems with rubbing in the front if i was to go with a tire that wide would I??

 

Hmmmmm.Well you should'nt but you could go with a 265/35/18 all the way around too.That is what I have on my front.

 

thanks lance...i think thats what I'm going to end up getting, 265/35/18 up front and 275/35/18 in the rear. Thanks a lot for the help bud!!

 

Hey no problem!!

 

I would just stick with 275's if it were me. Tire Rack, while I love them, is very conservative.

Check with someone who has the same rims. I have 275's on mine. 275's are stock on Cobras.

 

i have 265/35/18 with pro kit and no problems wish i would have went 275 though

 

With his being a 97 they sit a little bit lower when lowered.

 

yup mine rubs up front the way it is with 255/40/18...

I just talked to some shops around here and Jake from tire rack and they talked me into getting 245/40/18 up front and 275/40/18 in the rear...i think it should look pretty sweet with a fairly small tire up front and a fatty in the rear...(just how i like it)

 

they also said another good reason for keeping a smaller tire in the front is to not lose the purpose of the 4.10 gears...true or not?

 

i'm running 275-35-18 up front and 295-35-18 on back with 18x9 saleen wheels and steeda sport springs... no issues at all...

 

Don't understand that thinking at all.

 

i'm guessing that they're thinking the more tire, the less gear...i dunno??
