Help me pick tire size for 18"x9.5" wheels!95LT1Z28 01-30-2005, 02:00 PM Just picked up a new set of wheels for my '95. The size is 18"x9.5" and they have a 56mm offset. There are three different tire sizes that I have been looking at. My car is lowered with Eibach pro-kit springs and has Bilstein shocks. I am looking at 275/35/18, 285/35/18, and 275/40/18. Which tire will look best and not rub? I loved the look of my 275/40/17 tires on my old wheels (ZR-1). Any opinions would be appreciated and pics would be great! Jeff AW/whiteZ-28 01-30-2005, 03:01 PM I am looking at 275/35/18, 285/35/18 Those are the sizes I'd go with if you get a 40 series tire on a 18 inch rim it's gonna throw off the speedo calibration a little. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Zack 01-30-2005, 03:41 PM 275/35/18 on all 4 corners of my car kingman109 02-01-2005, 09:24 AM 275/40/18 on all 4 for me throws my speedo off roughly 1 mph per 10 no rubbing unless im cornering really really hard on a really bumping road, then i get some slight grazing up front.. .but hasnt really even left any marks on my fender walls and its been 6k djn 02-01-2005, 12:49 PM 275/35/18 all four corners and lowered 1.5 ;) Black_Z28 02-01-2005, 01:03 PM 295/35/18 and 265/35/18 on my car. And I'm lowered about 1.5". I had some rubbing issues, but I took care of those mostly. The rear wheels rubbed because of the wheel, not the tires. | ||
