Question what tire size for 18x10 J+0 and 18x12 +13 ?

wassup fellas again . thanks to zilvia and input from other forums , i went ahead and just purchased a set of wheels that I have been trying to research and see if it fits . I've always liked WORKS and wanted to get VSXX or Meisters S13P for my SUbaru but it wouldnt look as nice as they would on 240s .

so I got a chance to get some WORK wheels and I was planning to get some WORK Equips but fell in love with the VS-XX .

the size i went with is

Work VS-XX
18x10 J+0 and 18x12 +13


and i plan to run 30mm fenders on the front and either 30mm or 50mm over fenders on the rear depending which would fit better .

here are the pics of the wheels , i should be getting them in about a week .





and they will be going on this car






and now I need some input and opinions on another question ...

what size tires should I run ?

the car is making a little over 300 whp at the moment but I would like to get close to like 380whp .

I do plan to use the car to drift . ( try to learn ) so not sure if that matters on tire selection and might go with either Bridgestones or Dunlops .

so I need your input fellas about what size tires and which model Bridgestones or Dunlops ? I think with Dunlops , I would be going with Direzzas ?


thanks


-- Billy

Tire size is going to depend on ride height, camber and offset. I honestly have no idea what size you should run but this is what i think should work.

235/40 up front, 255/35 or 255/40 rear

235/40/18 is a terrible tire size. run 245 or 255/35 up front. rear run 265/35 or 285/30. 285/30 is better but some people dont want that much stagger. but if you run the 265/35 itll kindof mess up the rolling diameter. but it works.

you guys are smoking crack rock if you think you can get a 255/35 mounted up on a 12. and 235/35 only comes in 19.

also that rear is probably going to need a bit of a spacer

Its stupid tall for no reason


the only reason to run 235-245/40/18s is because they're cheaper than 245-255/35/18s by about 50$ per.
