Ok, well as you may have seen in my build thread I have adjusted the height of my car kind of low. I need new tires this year and I’m going to need a little stretch. Not much just a mild stretch. I currently am running 265/35/18’s on a 18X8.5 wheel all around as pictured here:
Now I kind of want to bump it up to a 40 sidewall. Those 35’s look like they have a little stretch but aren’t 265’s kind of wide for 8.5s? Maybe they just look stretched because of the lack of sidewall? Idk, this is why I’ve made this thread lol.
So I’m looking for a ???/40/18 tire to go on a 8.5 wide wheel with a little stretch. Any help would be great, thanks,
What kind of tires are you looking at some run wider then others.
Yeah that is funny the 265 looks a lil stretched on the 8.5. I have 275’s on 9" wide and they do not look stretched at all. Are you looking to stay the same diameter?
Not sure what kind of tire I want. Basically I’m hoping that you guys can help me decide that too lol. Basically anything that will fit on a 18x8.5 with 40 sidewall that will have a little stretch.
Man I feel like a sound stupid right now. I am far from a tire guru lol sorry
For cheap decent street tires I always use dz101’s I have ran great times at both the drag strip and road racing on them. I <3 them
Then from there all my experience is in drag radials and slicks really. I have had other street tires that i would not buy again. Azenis and MX’s I was not happy with.
