Default Help me choose tire size for new wheels.

I have brand new work vsxx's on the way this week. Help me pic a tire size that wont cause much rubbing at all in the rear. My rear quarters are rolled and i have skunk2 coilovers on my car right now.

Wheel sizes:

Front: 18x8 +51
Rear: 18x9 +58

What tire sizes should i go with to be safe? Any info i would appreciate it. Thanks

225/40 and 245/35 for the rear. Or u can use 215/40 for the front.

A 255/35 will be fine in the rear with rolled fenders.

Just fyi a 245/35 is shorter than 225/40.

I'd do F: 225/40/18 R: 255/35/18. Those are easy, safe tire sizes for those wheel sizes/offsets.

That is correct. The 215/40R18 will match the height of the 245/35R18. If I can help with the tires let me know.
