Wheel & Tire Combo

**98ramairguy** · 03-15-2014, 07:03 AM

I was thinking of getting the Chrome Z06 wheels from OE wheels in the 18x10.5 for the rears and the 18X8.5 for the front. I know they will fit correctly my question is this

What size tires should I get for the front and rears to get closest to stock ride height? I don't want it to look like it has a lift kit

THANKS

To keep the same size without messing with your sensors and causing the abs to malfunction you want a 275/35/18 up front and a between a 295/35/18 or 305/35/18 in the back. You could go a little narrower up front since its a 8.5 instead of a 9.5 width wheel.

thanks now to decide, I have to buy tires this spring to pass inspection anyway. I thought it was a good time to get some new wheels. Cant make up my mind between the chrome Z06 and the ZR1 with the black and machined lip

To me, black with machined lip looks killer on a black car. Breaks up the black.

This. I agree but then again this is what I have on my car.

I have black wheels with polished lips on my car also. My car is pewter instead of black but on some cars I think it looks alot better then polished aluminum or chrome. Black cars can go either way. The only thing I dont like on black cars is solid black wheels. They just get lost when there is nothing to break them up from the car.

I would do a 9inch front wheel if it were me...275's up front look good and feel good. I am going to go against the grain and say go with a full chrome or polished wheel...I had black with a polished lip on my car and it doesnt look anywhere as good as it does now...the black wheels' were really popular for a while but everybody has them now so I say go with what everybody doesnt have.

Polished aluminum > chrome IMO

I ordered my wheels today from Lance at OEWheels.com. Great guy, helped me get a set of rims that where out of stock and gave me a smoking deal on them. Can't wait to get them on. If you ever deal with OEWheels talk to Lance... great customer service. Now just to order some tires.

Will 265/35/18 fit on the front of my car with no rubbing issues? I'm not lowered at all?
