I have an s14. It will be origin wide body(20mm and 50mm fenders). I dont do motor sports and the car will be driven often. The wheels are 18x10 -6 and 18x11.5 -21. Anyone have any recommendations on a good tire size for the set up i have posted? I was thinkin maybe a 255/30 for the rears but maybe that more stretch than i need? Willing to run crazy camber.

probably wouldn't run a 30 series tire maybe a 40 series to get more sidewall to get a stretched look would probably do a 235 (extreme) 245 Good stretch 255 nice stretch

depends how low you are and how the roads are where you live

have fun gettin those fronts to fit.

255/40 would be better, because you'll need a little sidewall to stretch.

So 255/40/18 on the rears? What would be a setup for the front of a 18x10 that would match the rear?

You don't have to run a crazy amount of camber since you can modify the rear fenders to fit.

A 225/40 would be cool for the front and it isn't an extreme stretch. Yall trippn.

For the rear you could run a 255/40.
