Default Just bought Work VSXX

Just bought some Work VSXX's in 18x8+38 and 18x9+50 as well as some Tein Flex's

I am planning on rolling fenders and running some camber.

With that said I was planning on doing 225/40/18 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear does that sound about right?

the rear can go to 275, but 255 is safe. you might not need much camber at all. maybe 1.5. i am on a 9.5" rear with a 275/35 and i think offset is near 60 with a 1.5 rear camber. had 2, but it ate tires unevenly.

those are hot rims, nice choice. post some pics!

Maybe I'll go 265/35? I am more worried about the tires for the front though. Does 225/40 sound good?

Here are a few pics of the wheels. They were recently re-finished:

I personally like sticking with 215 for the front; I like the way it looks stretched onto an 8" rim, less chance of rubbing, and keep in mind that 215/40/18 is still larger than the stock 215/45/17, by .2". The 225/40/18 would be about .5" larger.

Really sweet rims BTW....
