Tire Size Question

Hey guys and girls. I have quick question on tire sizes for my MY99 C2 Cab. I'd like to put 235/40/18 on the front and 285/30/18 on the rear. I'm purchasing Conti Sport Contact 2s though I'm guessing that doesn't make any differnece. Will these fit without rubbing? Thanks for the advice!

they should not rub, certainly not the most aggressive numbers on tires i've seen. what's the offset & width on ur Fikse wheel though?

I'm actually not sure. The wheels were on the car when I purchased it. I know this sounds dumb, but is there any way to tell the size and offset while the wheels are on the car?

no Q is dumb. some OE wheels u can find the info on the face. custom wheel like Fiske no chance. will have to pull them off the car to tell. u can send me some pics of the car, wheels, tires at different angles i think i can tell if they'll rub or not. just want to see how the tires sit now & how far they're from the fenders. like i said, don't think u'll have a problem, but just making sure. i asked width because u don't want wider tires sitting on a narrow wheels. that would look odd too.

Arling,

I just dropped my car off at Sharkwerks with Alex. Is that something he'll be able to tell me?

Thanks!
