Default What tires size should I get?

I have ordered 17*8 Front and 18*8.5 Rear wheels. And I will lower my ap1 to 2.0" with SKUNK2 LOWERING DROP SPRINGS. What tires size should I get? How about Bridgestone RE760?


Thanks

What about them? What are you expecting from the tires? What are your priorities? What's your budget? If you want feedback then you need to clarify your needs/wants.

The logical tire choice to keep factory tire diameter and stagger with a little increased width is 225/45/17 front and 255/35/18 rear. If you are running aggressive offsets and need a little more fender clearance, you could also do 215/45, 245/35.

I have a new problem on my wheels. The front wheels are not available on wheelsnext. Can I set them up?
Front: 18*8.5 5-114.3 +32
Rear: 18*9.5 5-114.3 +20

Would need a fender pull and a lot of negative camber. I'd be looking for offsets at least in the 40's with those widths.

Are you kidding? Those offsets are way too low.

Well, in that case you need to run a 215 or 225 max and it won't look like that just lowered on springs.

Why do you want that "style"? That looks horrible and will make your car perform worst.
