Ok I am getting tires so I can put my titans on....I have asked this before i think, but it is early and I dont think well in the morning...
What size tire should I run on my Titans?
extreme tire size 235/50/18
plus size (according to tire rack) 235/45/18
or a shorter sidewall size.. 225/45/18
thanx guys....

the tire rack "plus" size would have a shorter sidewall, and the other you post ed would be a more narrow tire. tire sizes read width/sidewall/rim size and if im not mistaken the sidewall is liake a % of the width or an aspect ratio.

 

[brakenit]

^It is an aspect ratio. A 225/45/18 would be shorter than a 235/45/18.

You've got a 3" + ZQ8 drop right? Do you want a tire taller, shorter, or the same height as your current one? I would assume the same or shorter with that much drop. I think Rudy (RRCN) is running a 225/40/18 but I don't know how low you are compared to him.

 

[Carbon08]

235/45/18 would be similar size to your current tires. which I think you'd want to stick with.

 

[reaching.nulowz]

if you look up tire sizes on superbuytires.com they give you diameters

I am running 235/55/18 on my titans and plan on getting 225/40/18's next (like Rooooody), becuase I am scrubbing the FUCK out of my drivers side fender... :ugh:

 

[Carbon08]

225/40/18 is a 25" tire...I think it looks a bit odd with the large wheel wells we have.

I agree, but being low is more important to some people. I guess it's just personal preference. I've considered stepping up to a 27" tall tire when these need replaced in a couple months, but I haven't seen any tires that I want in the right size so I'll probably stick with a 255/45/17.

Yeah....so? :kiki:

 

[rangerbob]

A good set of 33's will fill in the wheel well quite nicely.

33's FTW

anyone know why the Z85s came with 27" tires fram the factory and the Zq8s got 26" tires?

actually...

Z85's w/steel wheels have 27.1" tires
Z85 w/alloy wheels have 28.3" tires
Z85 4x4 have 29.1" tires
ZQ8 w/17" wheels had 26.1" tires
ZQ8 w/18" & xtreme had 27.1" tires

:kiki:

know it all

 

[SYNNER]

ok I will go with RRCN's size....cause I am going even lower and dont want the rubbing issues with my area....thanx a lot guys

 

[Flatman]

hurry up, douchey!!!

 

[DragginBowtie]

I've got 245/45-17's on mine...I love 'em. 255/35-18's wouldn't be too bad if you wanna run a big. I'll be stepping up to 20's with 255/35-20...I just like the look of a wider tire.

 

[reaching.nulowz]

I have a Z85 with alloys and it has 27" tires but mines an '08 maybe they changed it?

 

[brakenit]

Yeah....so? :kiki:

Just stating a fact, everyone has their own preference. It looks great slammed that low but I could never do, I'd break something because of the way I drive. Low & Slow = not for me.

 

[rrcn]

I don't think I have too little tire for our wheel wells. They fill out pretty good, IMO. :shrug:

You just have to have the right drop for that tire size. And besides, any bigger of a tire and I'd rub. Currently, I practically never rub.
