Hello All,
well I had a choice between the K-Speed burnout rims or a set of Kaotic rims   and after a long session in Photoshop I decided on the Kaotic rims. Then by absolute luck a user on fordmods was selling a set of 18X8.5 Kaotic rims so I grabbed them up. they have 245X40X18 on the front and 265X35X18 on the rear, should look mean as nails.... :evil3: |

does anyone have any theories as to why they have 245/40 on the front and 265/35 on the back and not 265/40?

that's correct the second number is a percentage of the width.for example on a 245/40 tyre it is 245mm wide and the profile is 40% of this. so because the rear is widder the percentage is therefore less.
