Any pics of a 215/40/18 on a 8.5 rim
Like the title states any pictures?
Not looking to change rubber yet but planing on a 8.5inch rim in the front for when I do need new tires. However, I have the stock tires right now and rather wear those out. Tire rack states that the range for the stockers is 7 to 8.5 inch. Just wondering if banking on the max value is okay. I really hope it does not look like this. http://www.tyrestretch.com/8.5_215_35_R18/ looking for pics with a 40 profile hopefuly that will save the look damn I found a pic http://www.tyrestretch.com/8.5_215_4...en_512.jpg.php please say the stockers run a bit wider then most brands Last edited by dread1; 04-29-2010 at 08:14 PM.. |

Do you think that is a good fitment? I think you already know the answer so here is your confirmation. I personally would not do it. Just get a new wheel/tire package and sell the stock tires. That is what I am doing. Those pix you posted are ugly.
Good luck in what ever you decide. |

That's ok, I some times need a smack as well. Thanks for showing those pix. Interesting site. What wheels are you looking at and now what tires?

you want at least 235-245 minimum on an 8.5 rim. 245 is the best looking, but you prob can't fit more that 235 without rolling.
Also no more than 255 on 8.5 |

thanks tgxmike and Cisitalia.
I just piicked up the car a week ago just trying to make my dollar stretch (no pun intended) I was looking at the forgestars f14. I think I may may need to decline the purchase of the wheels and wait for a acceptable cushion in the bank roll to afford proper tires with rims at the same time. |

okay so 1er specific.
What tires do I run with a 8.5 front and a 9 rear. 46offset front and 50 rear? I'm thinking 225/40/18 front (still thin as shit but I don't know how far I can push, my old fwd had fatter tires in the front) M-sport suspension and no intention to lower and do not want to roll fenders. nothing drastic in the rear 245/35/18 is a 255 asking to much of the rear with no fender work on m-sport suspension?. I forget tho as profile goes up or down in which instance does the tire get narrower? http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.j...&text1=&text2= clearance for a 235 looks acceptable... can someone second that for me?
