  • What size tires for 18x10.5???

    I finally got my 18x10.5's to fit in the rear but now I really see that my 275/35/18 tires arent wide enough for the rims and arent as tall as my 245/40/18s for the front. So.....what width should I have for 18x10.5's I was thinking either 285 or 295 width and a 45 height but I dont really know. Which size would look best and fit them right?

    personally i would run 295 35 18 in back and 275 35 18 in front. that midd number is the sidewall height so if both rims are 18" you want that the same.

      I believe the middle number is the % of the width.

        there ya go...and I've got 18x10.5 all around and never had any fitment issues + Im lowered, and Im only runnind 265/35/18's all around of course Id like some wider tires, but just dont have the cash right now....good luck with whatever you decide...oh and buy all the same size tire, it'll look much better.

            positive....I spent so much on the wheels I could'nt afford good tires anymore :( and I also didnt know the difference (2-3 years ago)....but ya they're a little smaller than the rim but nothing noticeable.

              I talked to guy I got the rims from and he told me that if I went with a 295/35/18 that they would be 1/2 inch taller than my 245/40/18 does that sound about right?
