Anyone using 225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 Rear

Speed Cat · 02-26-2009, 06:50 PM

Just as it says..

Ive narrowed it down to 2 different sets of rubber, however they dont offer it in stock 135 rubber size..

SO im wondering if anyone is using this tire set up with stock RIMS on there 1.

If so, do you notice any changes or any negative side effects going to that size.

I would love to hear all the feed back..

Too many people to count are using that size combo, including me.

It's worked fine with no issues at all.

Technically those sizes are ever so slightly larger than stock but just enough to balance out the 2.5-4% speedometer optimism.

I'm running those on the rear, and 225/35/18s on the front. No issues.

my gps has shown no difference in the speedometer optimism with those sizes or my 19" sizes

but as the others have said, NO issues with that setup (even on lowered cars)

your running 225/35/18 (35) on the front?? Or do you mean /225/40/18

blklacker · 02-26-2009, 09:44 PM

225/40 R18 and 255/35 R18 does this setup provide better grip than the stock sizes?
