11.5" rim, what other tire sizes can I use?

2GVETTE · 02-03-2006, 02:46 PM

Hello,

I currently have the ccw classic street setup (18 x 10 up front on 285/30/18 pilot sports and 18x11.5 back on 335/30/18 pilot sports). I need to buy new tires.

The sidewall on the back has always seemed too high to me, because this 335 should probably be on a 12" or 12.5" rim. Does anyone know any good tire options that would decrease sidewall on the back and still work with the 285 up front? Is 315/30/18 too small for 11.5 inch rims? Are there such size as 325/30/18 or 325/25/18? Brands and tire size recommendations welcome!! Thanks in advance

I have the same size wheel as you.

285 on front and 305 in the back...NittoRII's

I am running 285 on front with a 18 X 9 1/2 rim and on the rear I run NT-01 315 on 18 x 11 rims so I think you will be just fine with some Nitto's on your ride I like mine

Do you do any road racing with this setup????

Curious how th NT-01 would mix/match with the RII's I have in the front. I would like the 315 size instead of the 305, especially since my rear wheels are 11.5 inches.

Thanks for the feedback. Would you guys happen to have any pics of your rides?

Thanks,

Pictures of how they look on my ride. No I do not auto cross, however in the Hill Country around San Antonio, I have pushed the limits on our back roads and no issues with having the extremes on the front and the NT-01's on the rear
