18 X 8 with 225/40-18 on the front & 18 X 9 with 255/35-18 on the rear.


With the Good Year Eagle F1

what do you guys think? I am bout to order these, I know the offset is correct...tirerack even has them as fitting.

Jim? any advice??

 

If these are the Shuk's you are describing, do not go with the 225 on the front. I have these on order and am going with a 215 on the front and 255 on the rear.

 

Sorry their Mille Miglia FX's 18"

 

I've spent the last 3 days really working in my new tires - 225 front, 255 rear, and they feel great....no problems at all.

 

is that with a 18x8 and an 18x9?

 

Just because Tire Rack lists them as fitting doesn't mean that the offset is correct. It's probably close, and is good enough when you're using close to stock sizes. But when you start going wider the offset becomes more important.

I would find out the offset first before deciding on tire size.

 

anyone??? i want order these today..im not sure the offset the guy didn't say..but he reccommened everythin..tire sizes and all..

 

I wouldn't order sqaut until you know the exact specs.........(including offsets)

Also: are you planning on lowering you car?

If yes...........the wheel offset / wheel width and tire combination become a lot more important for clearance reasons.

Lastly: Some members on the board choose to sacarifice performance by force fitting narrow tires on wheels that are either too wide or have the incorrect offset..........just for the "BLING".........not that that is wrong.....but you have to decide what is right for you.
