Default Volk SF Challenge 18's

Tires are mega beefy and buldge past the fenders in the rears so I will have to use these up and get some better fitment. The stance is not my favorite either so springs are coming once I find a good fitting tire.

I ran 225/245 BFG KDW2's on mine and there was rubbing- lowered. I think they look good on your Silverstone(or whatever color that is ). A couple of folks have them here.

This is probably the only 18" wheel that doesn't look out of place with stock brake calipers.

WHAT YOU NEED to do is get a round tire like a toyo t1s or a nitto nt555 that what i had to do with the hre's it will look a hell of alot better ,,,i hate square tires

Thumbs up

I am running the new Nitto 555 Extreme 255/35 ZR 18 90W in the rear and 225/40 ZR18 92W front


I am a noob on tires so any input is welcomed. Should not the profile size be the same on the front and rear?? 40 front Vs 35rear??

What is the W measurement??

On stock springs I have already rubbed a tiny bit when going over rough RR crossings so I will have to either sell these tires or use them up before I go lowered. they only have about 500 miles on the tires so if any body wants them I would be willing to sell.

Thanks for the compliments so far

Look better or handle better? I'll go with handle better.

Btw, Primo, it's not the tire's fault that you're rubbing... it's the wheels.
