 Subject: Rims to fit my tires
IP: Logged
Message:
I just bought a set of 18x8.5 inch rims and was wondering what a good tire size would be. I'd like a 40 or 45 series if possible, but just don't know how wide to go. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would look/fit/perform the best?
Thanks
-Matt

If your wanting to go a 40 series, and keep the same height, that would be the only size tire that would fit well I believe

255/45/18, fits 18 x 18.5 very well, and provides some sidewall. Check out the rims on a newer jaguar, they wear that size

I have 18x8.5 rims; with 235/40 in front 235/50 in back (the 40s r a little smaller than i expected, but fit real nice) the 235/50 are close as hell to stock (.44 of an inch smaller) and look good too. u cant go with any smaller than 235. hope this helps. peace

Awesome. I'm really liking the look of the 235/40-18s. They are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks a lot guys!

oh yea, forgot to mention: with those tires, its gonna throw off your speedometer and odometer by a bit.
see this page to see exactly how much:
http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html
you'd probably be off by about 5mph at 60mph. (that's kinda one reason i stuck with the 235/50 in the back, the difference is negligible. the size of the front doesnt change anything. peace
