Best tire for an 18X9 +29 offset? help
Best tire for an 18X9 +29 offset? help
Just bought some wheels and they are 18X9 with a +29mm offset. I was wondering because i cannot find anything that is solid information through the search button. I plan to lower my car temporarily with some hotchkis springs and want something that will look aggressive, and will not rub..
How about...
235/40/18 or
255/23/18 or finally
265/35/18
Which one of these will be best for my application, or if anyone has a few pics on a car of the bottom 2... Will the top tire look to skinny only being a 235?
Thanks in advance.

I have that exact size wheel, and I'm running 255/35/18 Goodyear F1's and they are remarkably forgiving for having so little sidewall. And quiet, too. If you want a ride that's only "slightly" more rickety than stock, go with a 40 series height on a goodyear. If you want the maximum cornering ability on a street tire, stick with the Yoko's.
My 2 cents!

Thanks alot for the input guys, how hard is it to roll the fenders... i know you can rend a fender roller around here, but not sure if it is worth doing.
Does the end justify the means is what im saying..

And what I'm saying is 245/40R18 is your best bet !!
I have that exact same size wheel, only with a +32 offset. Running coilovers, lowered 1.25 in in the front and 1 in the rear. 255/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE050As. No rubbing issues.

I'm trying to decide the same thing, either 255/35R18 or 245/40R18...there aren't as many 255s available compared to the 245s...
Not sure if you will have to roll the fenders with a 255/35 and dropped on springs (1.5" front & 1.0" rear)...
Maybe someone can chime in on which size is better...
