what about 215/40/18? Well i am thinking the 40. What do you mean by Offset?

With 215/40/18, your diameter will be .9" larger than stock, so you'll be goign 62.2 mph when your speedometer says your going 60 mph. You may rub, but I'm not sure.

And do a search on offset. You'll find what you'll need, as it's been covered many times before.

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types.

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly. We have test fitted thousands of different vehicles for proper fitment. Our extensive database allows our sales staff to offer you the perfect fit for your vehicle.


Now in english, i didnt understand that at all?

Just do more searching on here and on Google and other sites. It's been covered a lot, and offset basically affects how far your wheel sticks out.

You probably should, because rubbing sucks. But it's your car...

And yes, 40-series tires will make the ride slightly better.

Oh, well then you'll just rub more with a 40-series tire.

Have you been actually reading this post? The pros and cons of the different-sized tires have been stated above. I'd go with 215/35/18.

To be quite honest, im not sure the width, but  would the 225 235 fit in my wheel well?
[right][snapback]229903[/snapback][/right]



ok a 225 35 18 works good on 18x8 your speedo wont change
215/35/18 works good on 18x7 to 18x7.5 min change .5-1 mph faster
225/40/18 best protection 1-2 mph change slower

I'd probably do a 225/40 for ease of ride and make it look better. Your speedo wont be too far off, nothing super bad. Also if you have a smaller offset (40 and above) then you'll be fine. I have 225/35/19's on the front of my car with a 35mm offset and I dont rub with a drop!!! So 40's should be just fine. smile.gif

Ok I have 215/35/18s. I dont like them because I want 225/40s. But like Coomer said its nice having an accurate speedo - except I did the mathematical calculations to come to that conclusion. Weird since the 18's are so much larger than the 15's.

I'd go with a 40 series tire - 35 provides little protection.
