What size tires w/ 18x9 +8 F 18x10.5 +14 R?

Just bought some work vsxx 18x9 +8 fronts 18x10.5 + 14 rears, I'm going to need to roll my fenders and I want a nice stretched look. What do you guys think?They're going on my s14.

225 and 235 for the stretched look...

But I would run a 245 and 255 and have a not-so-stretched look...

225 40 18 front and 245 40 18 rear. 235 40 18 on a 10.5 is really stretched and most places (any place you would probably have your vsxx's at) wouldnt do that unless you had a friend there.

225 in the front will be perfect...and only a roll will be necessary. In the rear anything from 245-265 will work, you should choose based on how much power you are going to be putting to the ground/ or if you are going to be drifting it. i have 18x9.5 +12 w 235/40/18 and it JUST BARELY tucks in to clear the rear fenders so with 18x10.5 +14 you will have to pull but you probably already know that. just figured id put in my two cents, i hope it helps.

225 on the front will not look stretched if you are using expensive tires... 215/40 will yield the stretched look, or buy cheap 225's....


for the rear, 235/40 is jazzy

with 10.5 +14, you will need to pull the rear. or 3 to 4 degree of neg camber and you will only need a roll.

Yeah I'm probably going to have to do a negative camber in the rear w/ the roll. Hopefully the RUCA's and toe rods get here before the wheels.

stock sr?

if it is and since you arent going drifting but want a stretched look i'd go with 225/40 F 245/40 R

you will still keep some traction but will get a decent look out of it
if you want really stretched do a 235/45 rear but i dont suggest it

but again....just my opinion
