18 X 8.0 and 18 X 9.0, what tire sizes should I use?

I'm about to run 18 X 8.0 and 18 X 9.0 wheels.

What are some tire suggestions I should run?

I was thinking of 215/40 for fronts and 225/40 for rears.

Or should I just do 225/40 all around?

Edit:  This for an 1994 Acura Legend.  The front offset is +40 and the rear offset is +37.

You might wanna mention for what car and the offsets of the wheels.

For a front wheel drive, you really dont need to stagger. Your setup is pretty mild, so you can get away with it.  You just want to stay away from having too much of a stagger, it will result in understeer.  That may or may not bother you.   Running 215 in the front and 225 in the rear, will have the same overall look. Where 225 in the front will have a slight bulge over the rim bead (which may be good if you tend to drive on bad roads.)  I would say 225, all the way around.

If he is lookin for a particular look on the wheel car and offset wouldn't matter too much.

I am running 18x8.5 and 225/40's expose the rim lip. half an inch is not much when split evenly. you may want a 235 all around. IMHO. also the other big factor will be what series tire you run. I think many if not majority 18's will be 40-45 series but the manufacturers sidewall vary.

This one of the shops cars (Built in 2 days from bare shell)
it's running 18x9 with 225/45 (i believe) all around lot of rim exposure on this car.

Some of the other wheel pro's may correct me though....:p

Also , different brands of tires will have different section widths.  You should read the technical data of the tire brands you are thinking about.  Even within a brand, different styles of tires will be different.  Such as Falken Ziex series compared to Falken Azenis series.

Stretching too much on a wheel that is not going to sit flush will: 1) make the wheel/tire setup look too small, and 2) look even more sunken in than if you ran a less stretched tire. Things to consider....
