I have new 18/8.5 wheels and the tires im looking to get are the Toyo T1-S tread.


215/35/18 tires in front.

What size would you recommend for the rear. I have H+R sport springs, and wanted too know if going with a larger tire size in the back would be the best thing too do.??????????:confused:

You could...


But whats the point?


You can run like a 225 front and a 245 or 255 in the rear.


If i wasent running a staggard setup like you, I would get like 225 or 235 all around so i can rotate!

what im also doing with the rear wheels is putting a 15mm or so wheel spacers. I also heard the fronts rub with 225, and I def. can not go 235!!!!

i think 215 would be too skinny in the front on an 8.5" width wheel. 225 stretched to fit an 8.5 should clear just fine, and you could probably run 245 in the rear with no problems at all with about a 35-40 offset

if you ran a 215 on a 8.5 wheels, you would have to stretch the tire so much to mount it that the sidewalls would be rounded too much. IMHO, it would look like sh*t.

I run 225 up front and there is no rubbing issues at all. I can do a full u turn at pretty high u turn speed with no rubbing.
