What tyres do I need?

[jimgallaher]

I've decided to buy new black wheels for my zed, finally opted for rota grid drift, 18x8.5 front and 18x19.5 rears, what tyres do I need, I know I need 245 for the 8.5 as per the existing rears I have, but what size do I put on the 9.5 wheels? Also what effect, if any, will putting wider wheels than standard have on my zed ?

thanks for the info, but its a wee bit technical for me As it is I have 18x225 45 on my 8.0" fronts and18x245 45 8.5" on my rears,neither of which configurations are on your chart. Will 255x45 be ok on the 9.5 wheels I am planning to buy, and 245x45 0n the 8.5" fronts?

[Steady Zeddy]

245/40 on the front and 275/40 on the rear presuming you are running 18's.

Nice rims for the money - Lets see some pics when you get the rims on.

[jimgallaher]

yeah gonna be 18"s 19's would be nice but the tyres are so expensive. Its a bit of a nightmare when you mix sizes front and rear, both on wheels and tyres as its hard to get suppliers who have what I'm looking for in mixed sizes.Gonna go for Falken 452's again, been running on them for 6 months and I can't fault them.

Get tyres from here:

http://www.camskills.co.uk

or

http://www.eiretyres.com/

 

The Eiretyres place was 20£ cheaper per tyre when I bought the last set and Camskills couldn't pricematch

[jimgallaher]

I'm not mixing tyres just wider on the back, thanks for the heads up on eiretyres, I take it they're Ireland based ?

No the tyres came from the UK, fast delivery and as said came in under camskill and they couldn't price match and wished me good luck! I looked ...tried anyway to figure out who owns them, think they're German based. Like that the prices are inc Vat and inc shipping.
