Tire fitment?

Will 245/40/18 Dunlop Z2 fit on the front with 18x7.5 45mm offset.

And 265/35/18 Dunlop Z2 on the rear with 18x8.5 48mm offset.

This is for Auto X stock class. I can Not roll the fenders or add camber plates.
Everything else will be stock.


Thanks



Simmons

I do not recommend that sizing at all. Both of those tire sizes are outside of the recommended sizes for those wheel specs. They're going to bulge over the sides of your wheels.

I agree with VMR. Running an over sizes tire will make your handing feel like your driving on sand.

It will take away from the feeling some, but it will make up for it by not over heating as fast.

I was just asking if they will fit on the car without rubbing. Just tried a 245 on the front and it fit.

Thanks

It should fit, just don't know why you wouldn't want a wider wheel up front running that tire size, especially for AutoX. I'd want a firm feel, dunno about you!

I link you here for an extreme example of what can fit with an 18"

I would love a wider wheel up front, but I am in Stock class and you can't change the width.
