| I just bought 18's for my soarer and need some rubber really bad. They are 9.5 wide in the back and 8.5 in the front. Prefer staggered but doesn't really matter too much. Don't care about some wear on them, just need something! Not sure what size I need but low profile for sure. I need them ASAP! So let me know if you got anything! |

Those size should work, but you would really be stretching the sidewalls to make them fit.
Ideally for an 8.5 wheel you should run something like a 245/35, 245/40 or 245/45 depending on how much clearance you have (height wise - the second number determines the sidewall profile as a percentage of width - i.e. 245/45 is 45% of 245 mm).
Ideally for a 9.5 wheel you should run something like a 275/35, 275/40, again depending on clearance height wide. |

| I'm pushing it for clearance as it is already for width. My rims are a +35 offset, 9.5 inches wide in the back. Any suggestions to tire size? |

It's hard for me to suggest. I am just telling you the widths that most tire manufacturers recommend for your wheel widths.
As I am not familiar with clearances and offsets on your particular vehicle, I would recommend that you talk with others that have experience on your vehicle about what wheel offsets, wheel widths and tire width combinations work. Even a good tire shop would be able to test fit the wheel and check what would work (i.e. Fastech southside is pretty good). |

| Okay thanks man, I will try it out. I was told that the 275's on the rear and 225,s on the front is what is needed. Anyone have anything like that? |

| Anyone else? Still looking. |

| Still need tires! Anything above 50 percent! |
