Opinions on tire fitment for ZE40

[milk242]

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

So I'm looking to purchase a set of ZE40s in this fitment:
18x9.5 +22
18x11 +34

I plan to go 265 front and 295 rear. My question is about the sidewall. I'm thinking for the rear it should be 295/35 but for the front, should I go 265/35 or 265/40?

Thanks

Looks like we are on the same boat. I was hoping to go 40 profiles all around, but there's only 1 company I could find the makes it, and i"m not interested.

Any suggestions out there?

Another option would be to do 275/35/18 and 305/35/18.

That's true, but I think 275 is too wide for the front.

I've been using this calculator:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc...5r19-295-40r18

According to that, going from a 275/35r19 to 295/40r18 is a 2.7% increase in circumference while going to a 295/35r18 is a decreased by 1.7%. So going by absolutes, the 35 sidewall would result in the smallest difference, but I'd rather have my mileage read lower than read higher.

For the front, it looks like if we stick with 265/40/18 it's the most closest to stock.


For the rears I guess going 305/35/18 is the closest.
Not sure if I wanna go 305, but 11 inch will fit.



Of course there is no tire combo like that on Tirerack.
Maybe I should had gone with 19 inch rims.

Haha, I was also thinking of switching to 19s to not deal with this situation.

Yea, unfortunately, I have already purchased the rims, and I really want to stick with 18's. It looks like this is the size I will be going for.

265/40/18 and 295/35/18

Only good tire choice is MPSS comes in that combo that is the best.
I really want the Bridgestone RE11 or the 71R

Well for whatever it's worth, supremepower recommended 275/35r18 and 295/30r18 for Toyo r888

Hope your car is lowered, it's going to induce a very big wheel gap.

Also, I don't think it's a good idea for me to run track tires for my daily drive.
