dam 235's probably will rub even 245's they place i went to about tires told me they think the 225/45/18's r going to rub on my car but they said they will be glad to put any tires i want on the car.

 

oh ya thats the best part... i ordered them but i didnt pay for them... if for any reason the tire or rim do not fit 100% i get to look thru the catalog again and pick out something different. Thats why im saying give me a week or so and ill let you know if they rub or not. Im finding out at the expense of my local tire dealership

 

what tires did you order? the BFG's?

 

i ordered some nitto 555s because i liked them alot on my camaro

 

oo what size are they? 225/45/R18?

 

235/40/18

 

oo those things got a big sideway, but let me know how they fit.

 

Got the general exclaims uhp's (225/40/18) today. Haven't tested them too much. snow snow snow!! I'll keep ya posted. But they are quieter!!!

 

yes they are.

nice pics and thanks this is great but now where i live r alot of bumps and hills and like spots i bottom out on so will taht have any affect on my car?

 

it likely would but if your already prepared to bottom out your driving would be the best tool to keep the car safe

 

Check my SIG, i have those. Both 225's and they dont rub. Perfect handling, great traction.

 

the 235's will fit. the problem for fit is on the rim. our stock rims are not wide enough. 225/45 or 40 is the way to go. I recommend the 45 series as it will be less for giving in size, ride, and more side wall helps for 60fts.

the 235's have been tried before and unfortunatly the person had them on after market 7.5" wide rims. the center of the tire showed more wear. it just does not fit properly unless you have a 8" rim. 9" is the best according to tire manufactures.

Get ready to order 8" wide rims. don't find out the hard way.

On a 18" x 8" rim would a 235/45/18 fit well with the Eagle F1 GS D-3
Looking for some good 60ft times without drags or slicks for now. These would perform well on the street too.

 

Those Generals tires are only $79 a piece off of TireRack, is that right? Seems really cheap to me.

 

no thats the price of them. look em up on discount tire and they will say something like 140 and the pirreli's are like 160~180. there are huge mark ups on tires when buying retail and some tires just cost more than others straight from the manufacturers

 

Dam! That's a pretty sweet deal then, especially if you say that the traction and overall performance has increased. Thanks for the info.

 

ok i got my bfg's 225/40/r18 on order my sponser paid for them

 

who is your sponsor?

 

my boy that is the leader of the car group im in and he just wants my car to be faster asap so i told him i need new tires first and he said ok and ordered them for cheaper and is getting them in about 2 weeks.

 

damn sign my up for that...
