Looks like its time for new tires and want to widen my front wheel. I am now running an 18x8 with 245 40 18 and the tire mounts up nice and square. My rear tire is 335 30 18 on 18x12 and fits nice and square as well. My new front wheel is gonna be 18x9 and wonder what tire size to run? Im thinking 265 35 18 or 255 40 18? Can anyone tell me what they are running and how they look.
Thanks
Steve

Have you tried your local tire store? Or online ones /

I have and I messed with online sizing charts. There’s just no substitute for actually seeing the tire on a rim. I’m hoping that someone chimes in that running something similar or really close to what I’m after. I just don’t wanna see a stretched look or a bulged look. Know what I mean? I wanna post pics of what I’m running now but the host site I used is keeping my pics hostage 😡

I have 335 30 18s on 18x12 and 245 45 18s on 18x9s. I’m about to put 245 35s on the front the 45s are too tall in my opinion.

I am running 265/35-18 front and 315/30-18 in the rear. I like them a lot!

I now have 245 40 18 on a 8” rim. Wanna jump up to a 9” with a 265 35 tire and curious how it would look. Sweet camaro btw. 👍

I don't know if this will help you or not. These are 275/35-18 on 18x10 front and 335/30-18 on 18x12 rear. I think the 275 tires on an 18x9 wheel would just change the angle of the sidewall slightly more like the rears but would fit just fine.
