Tire Help Please
i ordered some rims a few days ago, now i need to order some tires.
i am having a difficult time in deciding which size to go with
rim size is
18 x 8.5 front 35mm
18 x 9.5 back 45 mm
what tire size would best fit the set up?
would 225/40/18's be ok on the front? or should i go for another size?
and the back i was thinking 265/35/18 or 255/45/18... could someone please help me out and explain the difference? maybe some pictures... i would like to order the tires today.
thanks

Check tire rack to see what they have and in what size. Why do you want to stagger your tire sizes? Do you have a turbo or something that requires you to need bigger tires in the back to put more power down. If not go with the same size all the way around. Otherwise it will mess with your handling and balance.

You can put in your vehicle and they can recommend a tire size. For winter tires I recommend a taller narrower tire for better snow traction.
I have Dunlop M3 wintersports. 215/55/17 The taller narrower tire is better in the snow than the lower profile wider tire.
