Moose Member 185 Member For: 16y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich, QLD Posted 24/04/09 01:43 AM Share Posted 24/04/09 01:43 AM Hey guys,Got my 20's sold, getting my stock 18's back (BF F6 mags) and need new rear tyres. Going to start cranking some more power out of my car soon, as I just sold my Hilux. I want to put Semi-Slicks on the back (future planning + wank factor) so what is the widest I can go? The car is lowered on King Super Super Lows. Looked at 245/40/18 for stock sizes, but would like a 265/35/18 or 265/40/18, or possibly bigger if I can (but I think 265 is pushing it on stock rims?)Did a quick search, found some info but not heaps. Also, what brand for the Semis? Federals? I live in Brisbane if that helps with brands.Cheers. Mitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car fries Khumo V70A's in 1st and 2nd and its running 373rwkw. If you are going for around the 400 mark don't expect much traction at WOT...To answer your question though I beleive the best you can get on stock rims are 255's - probably 35 profile if the car is lowered, but it will be a bit of trial and error as alot of tyres vary even though they quote the same Width and Profile.
