I just picked up a set of FR500 wheels from a member on the board. The rims are 18x9. Two of the wheels already have tires on them. They are Hanook Ventus Sport K104 tires , the sizes are 275 40 18. I think im going to put the two wheels that have tires already on the rear. My question is what size tires would be optimal to put on the front.
BTW I have a 2001 GT and its lowered, id like to avoid rubbing as much as possible, Thanks ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Cuz, it would help if you told us the size of your drop the slow bitch has. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Oh, and put those skinny 275s in front, and drop in 315/30s in the rear. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

youre an idiot..
315s will not fit on a 18x9 rim. i think the widest you should go is 285..or keep the 275 out back and get like a 255 or 265 up front

do you think the 275s will rub in the front at all?
Also does anyone have anything to say about the tires in the link above, are they decent?

Also some 315's will go on 9" rims.. depends on brand.. a lot of cobra owners use nitto DR's 315 but those are 17 " rims BTW.
