Tyres for 9 and 9.5

[s0ren]

Hi, ;)

Im new here on the board - Well i have been peeking around for som time, but this is my first post. :whistle: I have just orderd custom BC coilovers with 10F/12R springs and other valves, together with a set of custom BC RA01 wheels F:18x9 ET25 R:18x9.5 ET15, and now im looking for the right tyres. I was planning on Falken tyres, but i got insecure about the size. I want 225-40 on the 9.5's (I know its not a super stretch, but i think it will be great for my daily use) but that leaves me with my question:

What tyres size will give me the same stretch look (as the 225-40 on the 9.5's) for the front 9's? Is it 215-40, or will it be to small?

Thanks guys! :pray:

you can see what size tires/rims people are running and that should give you a better idea. Diff tires have different amounts of stretch for example federal ss595's run kind of big so a 215 federal ss595 would be about the same as a diff tire in 225/40.

both great sites. i say run a 215/40 on the fronts and a 225/45 on the rears both falken 912's since they have more of a striahgt sidewall. the 512's stretch nice too but they tend to bubble stretch from experience in the past.
