Profile pics if your running this size combo

[Mr. Man]

Looking for pictures of your Marauder if you are running this size tire combo:

Front: 235-55-18

Rear: 255-55-18

I would really like to see side views if you have them.

Thanks in advance :)

I think Paul ( blackend300) ran those sizes prior to black chroming rims . He may still run this size. He did just widened some rears though.

Front: 235-55-18 NITTO 555s

Rear: 255-55-18 NITTO 420s

The front tires would be just under 1 inch (0.93") taller than the OEM 235/50/18 size (28.18" vs. 27.25"). Rake would be slightly less by 1/2 inch over roughly 12.0 feet distance (about 0.3%) and probably not very noticeable at all. Hard cornering handling on the front end might be impacted by the slightly taller sidewalls.

That combo would have a rear-to-front ratio of 3% so it will probably work OK with the Traction Control at the lower end of the accepted 3-6% limit.

The stance looks great, imo. Although, I might move to a 265/50 Nitto NT555 on the rear when I get new tires soon...

TC not an issue for me as JPB is an '03. Just trying to fill the front wheel well without lowering the car. Looks like there is still a rake to the car based on ^^^^ picture. I think it looks good.

Fixed it ^^^ for you.

Like I said, the difference in rake from the OEM set-up would be barely noticeable. Rake on OEM is 1.79 inches. On your proposed set-up, it is 1.36 inches. Slightly less rake but not a huge difference.

You could consider 245/55-18 for the fronts.

I have a 05 crown vic sport with 245/55-18 fronts and 285/50-18 rears. If interested in pics I can post them.

245/55 fill the front very well up front.

Mr. Man, That is the BF Goodrich KDW2 tire combo here. I worked well for me.

What about the 255/45/18 front and 265/50/18 rear combo? It keeps everything the same rake wise, but widens the tires nicely. Those 265's I just bought for the rear REALLY fill out the wheel wells nicely now! :D I think MM2004 has a pic of that exact combo on a DTR. Really sweet!

I thought about the Nitto combo but I'm going to try another brand. I'll post results after I've driven on them for a while.

You cannot go wrong with Cooper RSA's -They were all weather tested this past season- no slip ,no slide ,,excellent in wet weather and the rears will outlast the T/A's also they do not spin easy.:banana2:

245/55/18's up front are great.
It gives you the look of a lowered car without the added harshness of a cut spring.
