Hi , i need help to choose my new tires.
I'm running on Eibach Sportlines and i want to buy BF Goodrich GForce KDW
but i'm unsure of the best size for me

225/40R18
or
225/45ZR18

any advice or comments will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

 

Hey I Know It Has Nothinig To Do With Tires, But You Should Get A 2.7" Pulley

 

if hes not running 60lbers then theres no way in hell he should quit giving members bad advice

 

Will i get any rub with 225/45ZR18 on sportlines with stock SS/Sc Wheels ?

Thanks

 

go with 225/40

 

Our stock rubber is 25.7 inches tall. The 225/45 BFGs are I believe 25.9 inches tall.The 225/40 tire is a little shorter 25.4 I think .So your not talking about a huge difference.As far as fender rub with the Sportlines goes I don't think you will have trouble but I'm not using that spring so I can't say for sure.I'm using Toyo Proxes 4 in the 225/45 as it gives a little more sidewall to absorb shock as there are a lot of potholes here that you sometimes can't see,and bent wheels suck if you know what I mean.Good luck.

 

for what its worth i run 235/40ZR18 with no rubbing issues at all.

 

Do you run it on stock rims & sportlines ??

 

Im lowered and run 225/40's

 

The stock wheels are 18X7 so the 225 tire is about as wide as you should use and still be able to keep a flat footprint on the ground.Most guys running fatter rubber are using aftermarket wheels usally 18X8 .

 

I finally fell for the 225/45ZR18, i'll let people know if i made a good choice

 

im running 235 40 18 dot compounds on stock rims
