Default Want to upgrade to 18" ZR1 style rims...

Looking on ebay at these 18" ZR1 knockoff rims. I am assuming they are the same size all around. I don't want different tire sizes in back than in the front. What tire size would you all recommend for these rims? I want to find a quality tire that also has some mean looking tread and something I can do over 100 with without worrying about them shredding up. Also, I want to come as close to the original factory radius as possible.

Ebay ZR1 auction

Thanks!

JM

They will look great just make sure you get the backspacing right. Go for a 275/35/18 tire max if you want all 4 corners the same size.

Go with BFGoodrich g-Force Sport. They come in 275/35/18 and are rated to 168 mph.

You might be able to get your speedo and odometer recalibrated; perhaps you could look into that to make sure there's no discrepancies. You won't be able to match the factory radius exactly, after all.

Agreed. I run a 275/35 R18, but a NEXEN 7000. Nothing to great for now.
