Finally decided on wheels need tire help
Lurked around on the forum a bit but looking for some advice on tire fitment. Currently looking at these esm-004.
![]() I've seen these on a black brz and on a vw jetta and love them. I know I want to go staggered by preference with 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +38. I don't plan on autox or any tracking I just enjoy driving my car spiritedly. What tires would you suggest and what sizes should I get? Also car is on eibach pro-kit. |

As for sizes:
Front: 225/40/18 Rear: 245/35/18 or, if thats is available in your country: Front: 235/35/18 Rear: 255/35/18 I would go for the first setup. On the other hand, are you 100% sure you want to go for a staggered setup? I would otherwise suggest go for a 18x9 245/35/18 square setup. You can click the link in the signature if you want a taste how that looks, I'm on 18x8.75+35 with 245/35/18 on Eibach Prokit, so basically almost the same setup as a 18x9 square setup would look like As for Tire brand, thats like engine oil, everyone prefers a different manufacturer. I used to have Dunlop Sport Maxx/ SP9000, however I learned that the Continental Sportcontact are more my taste after Dunlop changed their tire setup. So currently I can recommend the Continental tires.

I've seen these staggered in person and really like the look vs squared. I'd prefer to have less fitment issues. |
