Just got a present from fed ex!

[ruckusz28]

So i have one shot to do this right. 245 front, 275 back. Brand tbd. Funding yet to be saved lol

[ruckusz28]

Quick favor - if you're running 275/35/18's out back could you please post up an angled pic of the rear wheels. I'd like to see how much of a roll is on the sidewall. My buddy works for discount tire and said it probably wouldn't be too safe for me to run that size on an 8.5 wide wheel. He said 255/265 max. I know lots of you are running or have run that setup. I'd just like to visualize this.

I found a set of some 245/40/18's for about 400 shipped. I should be able to slam the car and tuck in the back with that size.

Thanks all

I was just about to post the EXACT same thing, I have been very happy with mine, all 100 miles, but Joel has beaten on his more then me!

Are they discontinued? I'm having trouble finding them in either size.

Discount tire.

I should have been more specific. They don't have the 245/40/18 available for a raptor.

tell your buddy he is nuts.. i ran then on an 8 inch wheel and was just fine for over 10k miles bc i burned the tires out to much.

here re some more pictures of them on my car

Why run a different size on the front? If you have the same size wheels front and rear wouldnt the same size tires make the most sense so you can rotate them? I cant even tell a difference front and rear on Seans car.

My 255/45/17's rubbed through the back of the inner wheel wells.

But - Mine is lowered, has the Spohn tubular a-arms (seems to have moved the tires back 1/2", have some stock ones I need to put on) and has the extra bracing in the wheel wells added by ASC

[JoeliusZ28]

I see, i have no rubbing at all with 275s on all 4 corners, but i am stock height.

[mcalus]

I'm lowered with 275s and 315s with no rubbing.

[hoogiesngrinderz]

and you have a 4th gen

[my95z28]

Tons of GTO guys run 275s on an 8" wide wheel. Tire guys don't like it, but you will be fine

I've got Hankook Ventus V12 275/40/18 front runners. But they only see dry sunny days. I'd decide on your budget, then go searching.
