I just got a set of te37 18*9.5 +22, it's a very long story but what im running right now is 265/35/18 in the front and 275/35/18 at the rear. I was planning to run 255/35/18m but like i said it's a long story. My fender is already rolled and i can't even get my car into the driveway, the rear fender is hitting the tires all the WAY.
I'm running ohlins DFV suspension with 10F 8R, I did a lot of research and i know 255/35/18 is the best to fit these's 9.5, but what i want to know is 245/40/18 really not the best bet for 9.5? I know it streches, but how much? Should I just upper my car? But I'm afraid the spring rate can't hold the weight if I put hella stuff in the trunk.

Thanks

your running two different size tires? Your back tires are bigger and taller then your front. Remember the "35" is a ratio, meaning its actually taller then your front. take them off before you start ruining your diffs.

 

don't know. good luck with that. I would just buy some 255's and call it a day.

 

...put the 275s in the front. It's where they belong in this scenario.

 

As mentioned...if you have no other options...then put the 275's up front.

adjust camber... you should be able to fit them.
use camber to your benefit.

 

You will RUIN your center diff by running tires with a different diameter. If it's just a street car I would ditch the 275's and buy another pair of 265's. Seriously, you'll spend ALOT more fixing the center diff then buying 2 tires.

To fit the fronts you'll probably need a bit of camber to tuck the tires, probably around -2.5 ish. You'll also need to use the same technique in the rear. I have no idea how much you'll need in the rear as +22 is alot for the OEM fenders, even rolled. Alot of autocrossers run 18x9.5 +35 or 18x10 +32 in the rear and even then tire fitment can be tight (although we run 285's).

good luck.

 

how long does it take to ruin the center diff? I drove the car for only 20 miles, im getting the 245 on tomorrow, do you think i can just not put the 275 in the front and wait till tomorrow?

It probably depends on too many variables to say. Follow kekek's very helpful advice.
