what size tire would fit 18X8 wheels and not interfere w/ my spedometer reading too much. just wondering b/c i have four brand new 18" Eagle Type 077's sitting in my kitchen w/ no tires. [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]
I think that you'll have speedo problems with the 18's PERIOD!! Just get the lowest profile you can geat wawy with and it should be minimal. Something like 245/40 or 245/35's. Those can get really expensive though!!

My question to you. Will 18's fit the firebird without rubbing?

It depends on the tire you get for it. Don't get anything higher than a 45 series tire for your car. I have my car lowered and it only rubs in the rear when I'm hitting dips in the road.
I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...
Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...
Building the Tom Henry RS Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff. By: Hib Halverson
