Tire Size help
I ordered some 18 inch Ridler 695's in grey today and a 4/6 drop from ECE to put on 1972 LWB Cheyenne. Hopped on the board to figure out what tire sizes I need to get and looked at a ton of posts and couldn't figure it out. The front rims are 18X8 and the rears are 18X9.5, anyone have any suggestions tire sizes and brands. Don't wanna break the bank on tire price but would like something that is decent.
Thanks...Diabloceto |

Re: Tire Size help
With a 4/6 drop, IMO. a 30" tire in front. maybe a 31" tall in back, is just right.

Re: Tire Size help
Well after a ton of digging on the internet I found two tire sizes for the front (255/55r18 and 255/50r18) and one for the rear (275/55r18) can't find a matched set for either size. This is very frustrating especially since the rims are on the way.

Re: Tire Size help
Hmm thanks, I guess I'll have to pony up for a set of those even though all the reviews say they are really loud and wear out super quick. Only choice I have right now.

255/45/18 F 295/45/18 R Nitto NT555's look good, too.
