Do you guys think the tires look too big and "meaty"?

Yeah, def too meaty with the tires. It looks like you belong on the strip or something


see nice and meaty


I don't know what size wheels you have, but you need to lose some aspect ration for sure on the next set of tires.

make it look more like this

I agree, I got the wheels and tires in a package deal or I wouldn't have gone so big. The wheels are 18x9.5" BBS CHs and the tires are 255/45/18, I plan on going 245/35/18 in the near future.

Egh... I dunno about 35 profile. Its gonna look too skinny on the 18's.
35/19
40/18
45/17
That's how the sizes should be. 9.5 is noice! Just get some 40 profile tires and then it also won't be as rough of a ride as 35's.

Btw great choice on CH's. My personal fave! Lemme know if you ever wanna sell them.

Wheels are cool, but tires, you know ))
Maybe keep these tires for the winter and get yourself some low profile ones for the summer + a drop

I will use my stock wheels for winter tires and low pros are on the way. Does anyone have pics of a 35 sidewall?
