So I just ordered a set of XXR's 521's Hyper Silver 18x10+25mm. I wanted to get some opinions from you guys on what tires to settle with. I don't really like low pro tires too much, but at the same time don't want them to be too beefy. I was thinking about Nitto's NT05's 235/40R18. Do you guys think this would be good? or

 

Have you tried the dunlop direzza z1 star specs or Hancook Ventus R-S3?

 

10" wide rims should have 265 or 275 width, NOT 235. That's definitely stretched and bordering on unsafe.

 

@ jons0n. No I haven't looked at both those tires. It's just right when I saw those Nitto's, I was sold.

@ tkromer. Yeah, now I'm actually thinking about going 245. I still want them to be stretched a bit.

 

at minimum you should have 265/40/18 on those wheels. Even that size looks slightly stretched. you should try 275/35/18. you will definitely need to do some fender work to get those to fit as well

@ escodotcarter. I will definitely look into those size tires. Yeah I'm hoping I don't have to roll the fenders too much, but will do if a must.

@ jons0n. Man I love both the tires but they're a bit pricey for me.

 

 

^^^^LOL

OP. if anything call my buddy Dexter ext 369 at tire rack. Tell him what you want to do and how much. He will recommend something safe and within your budget.

 

I'm due for new tires too and I've been looking at Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Great reviews with 300 tread wear! I agree with all the posts so far... IMO I think you should run 275/35/18 with your wheel size

 

Super sports are great!

 

Lol, thanks everyone!

 

Further to the point made above: Doing some quick research, there are no 235's or 245's that will safely work on a 10" rim. There are a handful of 255's. Thanks
