Thoughts on my setup...

[XLexusTech]

JRS sub he recomeds 10 inch weel with 8 inch backspace..
Front 18x10 8 inch back space 275 30 18
Rear 18x12 8 inch backspace 335 30 18.
Zo6 C6 brakes

Concerns front to rear balance and caliper clearance.. Ability to get car very low, tucked look.

rim width to tire section width using the toyos is exactly 1.5" front and rear
315 = 25.5" kumho
335 = 26" KWD
275/35/18 = 25.6" kumho
265/35/18 = 25.4 toyo
275/35/18 toyo = 25.7"


Heres another members car.

I've already gotten used to 275 up front. It doesn't even look that big in this pic with those 315s peaking out back.

just go to tirerack.com and after putting in different sizes you can look up all the specs on the tire.
