265/40 F 275/40 R

rvtrcr · 01-12-2017, 12:36 PM

About to buy new wheels and don't really feel like buying 4 new tires, since I JUST bought 2 new 265/40/18 PS91's. Though I'd move those to the front and buy 275/40's for the rear. Wheels are 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rear. Just wondering if anyone is running this setup - Oh yeah, my car is on Swift Spec R's. Thanks.

The fronts are 26.6" tall, are you sure they aren't 265/35/18? If they are the 40s how are they not destroying the inner liner?

I haven't mounted them up yet - Was wondering if anyone had experience with this setup yet - I'll report back, should test fit them today. Thanks.

No rub on my car - although my car didn't end up as low as some I've seen with Spec - R springs. It's not the ideal set up but saved me some cash while I go through these Kumho's - won't take long...

When you turn and hit a bump they will probably rub. A 265/35/19 will rub and its only 26.3" tall. Its not about the width but the height.
