    Default Tyre Sizing.

    Trying to work out what size tyres to run on 18x9.5 wheels. want to have them sitting pretty square on the rims, or slightly stretched, but not full KE bandit spec.

    Pics and or suggestions would be great.

    235/40?
    225/40 is nice but thats gunna be pulled.
    see pics below, 225/40 on 18x9.5, also depends obviously on what brand tyres, feds are always naturally fatter!


    heres 235/40 on 18x9.5s (top one is a fed too)


    so id say 235/40 if you want it flat/slight pull, but once again depends on the brand

    yeah 235's look like the way to go, or possibly a 245 even to actually fill the guards up some more as they're pretty big.

    Car is a ST185 GT4

    Not the gt4's. It's got 17x7 +42 on it now and there is 80mm more in the back guards. New wheels will be 9.5 +8 on the rear
