Need a tire size for new wheels

[Jaylee]

I just purchased some new Enkei PF01 wheels and need to know the best size tires for them. They are 18x9.5 with a 35mm offset and my car is lowered with sportline springs. Pics would help.

anything between 255 - 285. that is the factory size on the 07-09 shelby GT500 they run 255/45 front and 285/40 rears. you can also run 275's all the way around and that lends itself to longer tire life since you can rotate.

Thats the best route if all 4 wheels are the same size and you want to be able to rotate.

I was thinking 275 all the way around. I am not sure if I should choose a 35 or 40 series. I was hoping for some pics.

go with the 40 profile, the 35 would be look too thin even if you were lowered a lot. wheel wells on this car are huge

I would agree. 35 is to thin IMO, 40 is perfect.

275/40/18 all the way around with Eibach Pro

275/40-18 or 285/40-18 on all 4 corners should keep your speedometer reading within 1 MPH of the stock tire size. There seems to be a much better selection of tires in 275/40-18 than 285/40-18.

255/45/18s would also work if u dont feel like paying 275/285 money

Thanks for all the help. Looks I will be going with 275/40/18.
