Whats a good tire size for 18x9.5 all around with 15-17 offset in my current height also will I have a good clearance without rolling my fenders with the perfect tire setup? LMK asap!

 

195/35/18?
195/40/18?
225/35/18?
235/40/18?
245/35/18?
245/40/18?

Any other suggestions?

 

It's kind of hard to say since you have cut springs (according to your build thread anyway)..no way to know just how low you are.

245/40 or 245/35 should be fine..personally I would run 255/35 on a 9.5 wide wheel but that's just because I prefer a pretty meaty tire.

Unless you like the stretched tire look..those are the sizes I would go for.

 

well with Errols height and the fact that he is looking to fit 18x9.5 +15et I would say that meaty tires are completely out of the question. Its stretched or go home at this point.

Errol, I would try the 225/35's or try to find a set of 215/35's

 

I put tire dimensions in 1010's calculator to look at the difference in rolling diameter with various stretch based on the 18x9.5 wheel....results as follows

specs: Diameter difference to stock

215/35/18 7.9 %

225/35/18 6.82%

235/35/18 5.78%

.....Question 1: I know these differences affect speedometer, but how will they affect gearing if at all

.....Question 2: what affects does changed gearing have on the car

not trying to thread jack, but errol's setup is similar to what I'm looking at for wheel/tire

 

Is 195/35 or 195/40 too much stretched & dangerous?
