Appropriate Tire Size
Just a quick question.
My friend will be running a staggered set up, 18x8 and 18x9.
He is looking for the same amount of sidewall for both front and rear.
Does a 225/40 and a 245/30 sound about right?
Thanks in advance, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Re: Appropriate Tire Size
245 x .30 = 73.5 mm sidewall
245/35 would be closer (85.75mm)

Re: Appropriate Tire Size
Make sure you don't have too big of a difference between front and rear diameter if you are keeping the stock ABS system. Shouldn't be a problem if they're pretty close, just keep that in mind though.
