Well thank goodness you chose a 18" size rim. Had those been 19"s, you'd be paying alot for tires.

^ keep me posted. i'll be in vegas this weekend so... ya. if u can wait until next weekend or u can hit up calvin/myxyzxo.

meatier tires in the rear won't matter all too much but try and keep the rolling diameter even with the fronts vs. the rears.

Justtin626 you are wasting your money going with 265 on a 9" rim. You are better off going with either 235 or 245 all around. Having wider tires on rims that don't require that size tire = waste of money. IMHO

225 works for a 9" rim. Though you will be stretching the tires. I have 225 on a 8.5" (F) and with that I notice that it's stretched. Remember that when you stretch a tire, you are exposing the lip of the rim to curbs. So there is a good chance you will get curb rash on your rims.

Why are you bent on going with potenza (you are buying a name, there are alot of good tires out there that aren't name brand)? What is the price that you are getting for on that brand and size. I strongly advise you find another brand that offers 235 or 245. I think if you put 225 on a 9" rim., you will eventually wish you had a bigger width tire.

You live in Arcadia, my office is in Baldwin Park. Let's meet sometime this week, so you can see and understand what I am talking about. Either send me a PM or contact .clipse (mark) for my phone number.

those are decent tires, they came stock on my vette but they were runflats, which are entirely too heavy. Should be good with those not too much wear, and decent performance.
