The rims are 18x9. Two of the wheels already have tires on them. They are <a href="http://www.hankooktireusa.com/products_view_info.asp?Item_ID=19&CatID=5" target="_blank">Hanook Ventus Sport K104 tires</a> , 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. <br /><br />BTW I have a 2001 GT and its lowered, id like to avoid rubbing as much as possible, Thanks <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>02GeeTee</b> <br /><small>Member # 5905</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,25,12,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Cuz, it would help if you told us the size of your drop the slow bitch has. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> <br /><br />Oh, and put those skinny 275s in front, and drop in 315/30s in the rear. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>poisonpony96</b> <br /><small>Member # 3942</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,25,12,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you can't put a 315 on a 9 inch rim <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>02GeeTee</b> <br /><small>Member # 5905</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,25,14,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by poisonpony96:<br /><strong> you can't put a 315 on a 9 inch rim </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">OF COURSE YOU CAN!
