Maximum tire sizes

[Kensi]

I'm in the market now for some new tires but not sure on the sizes or brand I should go with for the Skyline. I daily drive the car now but I would like to keep it performance oriented since I plan on pushing more power in the future.

I'm looking for maximum tire on the following specs:

18x9.5 +15
18x10.5 +15

I was considering Nitto Invo 255/35, 275/35. I've been reading up on other people's setups on the maximum tire thread on Zilvia but I would like other people's opinion on what tire size & brand would look and perform great on those wheel sizes. :bigthumbu

255 and 275 sound about right. Maybe even 285.

i run 295s on a 10.5 no problem.

Do you have a close up picture of the 295 on the 10.5?

 

[gsracer]

no but my sig you can see it

the fronts are 9.5 with 265's

 

[Kensi]

That works. What size sidewall do you run front & back?

Slicks all around !








I would take advise from people who actually run new tires and have more than 300 hp not people running stock ka on dry rotted tires . Just some advice .:driving:

Holy crap Jerry! 265 in the front?! How?! Haha.
Im thinking about going to a 245, and that's like huge. Haha.

On a 10.5 a 275 will be slightly stretched. 285-295 would look real proper.
It also depends on brand of tires. Some run real big.

Yeah After some thought I might actually run the 295/30 in the rear and 265/35 up front (Nitto Invo). Found out I can get R33 GTR rear overfenders for a great price just in case.

My fronts are tubbed, and clearanced the back of the frame rail with stock kouki front fenders with a pull and the rear have overs.

These are the sizes i run on both sets of wheels

Varstoens
front 18 x 9.5 +15 265/25/18
rear 18 x 10.5 +15 275/35/18 295/30/18 265/35/18 and 315/30/18

on the work misters which i mostly use for the street

front
18 x 10 +18 275/35/18

Rear
18 x 11 + 18 295/30/18 with a 10mm spacer or 315/30/18 with no spacer


275 up front of a s chassis looks proper.

^275 upfront with no angle ah yes!

 

[Bearcat]

I'm sure it looks good, just wouldn't work with good angle.
