Were installing 18'9 in front and 18'10 in the back.

What sizes do you guys recomend,Fronts and back?. dont want to here rubbing. we tried them with 315' wide in the back and it barily hit the rear-well....

245-40-18's in front?

285-40-18 in back? or is that to big?

A 285/60 is for a truck, a 285/35 would be slightly less wide than a 285/40, but if a 315 barley rubbed than a 285 should clear.

lol thanks trunster, what about the fronts? 235-35-18?

235 would look funny on a 9" wheel, maybe a 245 may look better, but if you could tuck a 255 in there, I wonder what Luke is running on his coupe, you may want to ask him.

how is a 285-35 less wide then a 285-40...they're both 285's...? The only diff is the sidewall profile... [Confused]

to run the tire size i posted maybe roll the fender an little pounding inside. an flip the quad shock. when i ran the 305's i had to pound alot on the inner fender an stretch that metal. but the 295's should be fine
