Recomendation tires C5vert TSW Nurburgring 18/19"
Hi
I have TSW Nurburgrings front 18*9 +50 offset, back 19*10.5 +65 offset just ordered, i am also in the process of putting in Aldan coilovers.
So what tires should i run....i am thinking 275/35/18 front and 305/30/19 in the back am i thinking correct then i do not whant any tires sticking outside the back fender, could there be any issues with swaybar 1.25 inch front 1.0 inch back or the Aldan coilovers ?
All input is welcome and much appreciated as i am in somewhat unchartered waters.

What tires are you looking at?
The front 275 would be too wide for a 9" rim 265/35 would be better, the rear would be fine, the 305 & 265 would probably give some tire bulge on the sidewall, if you run a 295/30 & 255/35 the tires would probably be more flush to the rim, and would probably be more flush to the wheel well also. You should have no issues with the coilovers or sway bars.

Good to hear that there should be no problem with coilovers and wheels, i did see that Superchevy did this install and had clearence issues not with tires though.
Any special brand that you recomend in those dimensions ?

I don't think you would notice any difference between the 305/265 & the 295/255 other than the sidewall bulge & maybe the height difference which is very small.
I do not have any tires to recommend, I run Nitto Invos on my car, I would search Tire Rack & see what tires are available in those sizes, and see what you like, and what you can afford, it is all about your personal preference, & you can check the specs & see what size rims are recommended for those tire sizes, & maybe check out the reviews as well.

I have used 275-35-18 Bridgestone RE-71's on 9" x 18" TSW front wheels on my C-5 and now my C7 Z51. Fit fine but these are autocross tires.
Suggest looking at the wheel width specs listed for specific tires on the Tire-Rack website when buying tires, even if you end up buying locally.
I Loved the Continental high performance all season tires on my C-5. Quiet, lasted well, good but not race quality handling.
