Default Anyone in So. Cal with 245/40/18 tires?

I just got a set of beater rims. The rear tires are 265/35/18 Almost brand new Dunlop SP9000. Problem is, these rims are only 18x8. It looks weird. Does anyone in the area with Dunlop SP9000's that are 245/40/18 want to trade for my 265/35/18 tires? Has to have at least 75% thread left... The ones I have now are about 90-95% thread left!

hmmm 30 series tires scare me. Also they will look weird on my car because I have 40 series tires in the front. Are you sure they are 30 series? I don't recall nitto 555 in 235/30/18.

Actually they are 235/40/18. If you want them I will sell them for $80 each. I just need space in my garage.

I just mounted some Federal 245/40-18s on my SC400s 18x8.5s... they are brand new basically less than a hundred miles and honestly I'm pretty shocked- they arent bad tires at all

I dont know if 265 is safe on an 8.5inch rim if it is I may be interested

I wouldn't do it. I have 18x8 and I am a bit worried. On my Altstadts before, I had 265/35/18 on 18x8.5 and it looked weird also.

please be sure they have at least 75% thread left if you plan on getting them to trade.

Do they go to used tire king?
