PH E63 Tire Roasting

Start with the video.

Now that those tires are done. I need new tires.
I have brand new forgestar f14's coming in 18x8.5 and 18.10
Can you guys help me with tire size?
What is the widest tire size I can fit on the rear 10" rim? without rubbing, I am lowered with ELM.

can i do a 285/35/18? or can i get a bit wider?

I have 275/35/18 on my 9.5s but yours are 10 inches in the back so 285/35 should be good for you.. i doubt you would be able to get 295s on the back if your lowered..

Thanks Andrew,

Im currently on michelin PS2's 245/40 and 265/35 in the rears on the stock rims.

I get no traction whatsoever in 1st gear sometimes. I'm keeping the front tires, but what brand tires you guys like?? i'm thinking nitto nt05's or something like that.

Ive heard the Nitto's are good.. I went with the Continental DW.. Really good tire and even wear.. I dont get much traction in first, but who does with these cars?? Lol...

Oh and by the way I think you'll really be amazed at how light these wheels really are.. Even though there 18s your ride is going to look real good lowered..

Yeah, i can't wait for these, Monday they come in, gunmetal on silver FTW!

I'm having a real hard time getting good tires in 285/35/18.

i think i might have to stretch some 275 35 18's on....?
