18" BBS FI paired with Pirelli Trofeo

Checkcaptain · 06-07-2013, 10:48 AM

Thought I show you some pics of my new tire setup.
The Pirelli Trofeos are extreme wide.
What you see here is 265/35-18 and 295/30-18.

not at all. I have a set of 295/30 Ad08 and it is a meaty tire.

it's 30% of 295 width. If it was a 265 it would be 30% of the 265 so the sidewall height still varies based on width.

ohhh okay thanks! so I should be fine with going with 265/35/18 front and 295/30/18 rear right? I want to get AD08's for my next set of tires...
