18x8.5/18x9.5 255-225 or 265-235?
Hi, I've been doing some research on what tire I should choose for a while now, but I still have a few questions I can't find a clear answer for.
I'll be running 18x8.5 (front) and 18x9.5 (rear). I can't decide if I should use 255/35 and 225/40 or 265/35 with 235/40.
- I do not want a stretch tire or very little as I am still on stock suspension and i think it would look weird. Will 225 and 255 look too stretch? I'm less worried for the 255 than the 225 as it seems that the 225 is the minimal recommended size of a 8.5 wheel and 255 a recommended size for 9.5(If you guys can give me any clear picture can't find one anywhere with the right angle..)
- The 255 setup is about 1.5% bigger from am and the 265 3%. Is it something to consider or both are minimal and won't hurt anything?
-I also see a lot of people run 235 (3% dif. with oem) with 255 (1.5% dif. with oem) shouldn't the wheel have the same circumference or as close as possible without going too far from Oem specs?
-Lastly, I'll be running FireStone FireHawk Indy 500 at least that's what I'm currently considering. I can't find if those tires are larger than other tire in the same size like ''Michelin Pilot Super Sports''. Which would help with less stretch with the smaller size.
Thanks for your help!
