Tyre Size And Offset Question.

[ishyz34]

Hey guys

Thinking of buying a new set of Varrsteon 2.2.1(te37 replicas) for my 34gt sometime this week.

Thinking of going 18 x 9.5 +22 front

and 18 x 9.5 +15 at the rears.

First question, would +12 at the rear look too agressive? as in, would they stick out of the guards too much? Would i have to roll guards?

Second question, what size tyres do you guys recommend?

Any help would be appreciated cos i'm pretty new to this stuff, thanks

yes you will probably have to roll the guards and yeah they will stick out a bit. will look wicked though. probably need camber arms in the rear to get good tyre wear/flush fit.

would go 235/40/18 tyres all round

Thanks for the reply mate

I have Tein SS coilys, the timid amount of camber that they create won't be enough for +12 ayee?

Should i go with +15's to be safe you reckon?

i dont mind rolling guards, but camber arms are a bit dear

Personally I'd go :

18 x 9.5" +22 with 235/40 front

18 x 10.5" +30 rears with 265/35 rear

won't the front look more aggressive than the rear in that case?

^^^^ Not really because the rim isnt as wide as the rear.

Thanks for replying mate, i took the safe option and ordered +30 all round with 10.5's at the rear and 9.5's at the front.

I'll put up pictures when they are fitted

No - 1 inch is 25.4mm, so there will be 13mm extra either side, and the difference in offset is only 8mm so the rears will stick out 5mm more than the fronts.

Hmm, 5mm isn't much at all ayee, it wont be noticeable enough

I wouldnt be too worried about looks - if it doesn't fit properly you will hate it regardless of how it looks. Not that i'm saying anything about fit, because I dont know.

I ordered 10.5's with 255 for the rear, 9.5's with 235's for the front. Still awaiting shipment, paid a month ago
