265s won't even fit on a 10.5 wheel. the smallest you can really go is 285 and those would have stretched sidewalls. 295s are your best bet. thats what i ran on my 10.5s when i had them

what about a 265/40/18?

I ran 265/45/16 auto-x tires on the flakes and they looked pretty good..

A sightly wider wheel prolly would have looked lil better imho..

Not sure if 10.5's the tire would mount right..

damn....im tryin not to spend a fortune on the tires....and 295's are expensive to me...

**hippiespace** · 01-26-2011, 08:24 AM

I have 275/35/18 on the rear and 245/40/18 on the front the front wheels are 8" and the rear wheels are are 10" look great. There is just enough sticking out of the rear wheel well and there is no need for any spacers and no issues with rubbing.

gotta pay to play jive ...i spent 800ish on tires ..the nittos ..with tires you gotta do it right..dont cut corners ...my fronts are 275s and on 9 or 9.5 ..they show damn near no wear..still have the little feet things on the side of the tire..i will have many seasons before i need to change them ..the backs are like 400ish and will have 1 to 2 more seasons...so it isnt that bad

You get what you pay for man. Hooking up cars isnt cheap at all. I dont see where 265s would be worth it anyways.. I guess for a DD it would be but if youre trying to go fast theyre gunna suck ass

Those should look sweet I got kinda the same style with the chrome lip. Are you staggering the wheels. If your tight on cash check out Tire Rack for tires. BF Goodrich KDW2 I've been happy with mine and there not to bad for price.

yea i just paid $1200 for some yokohomas. 275 in the front and 315 in the rear. i have learned that when it comes to tires its worth spending the extra cash.
