How wide a tire on 8x18"

E9xxx · 05-28-2011, 06:23 PM

Is 235/40 max without the tire looking like a balloon? I want to go with 255/35-18 like the stock setup. But i guess that's the price you have to pay, when you fuck up when you're buying new rims

Anyone with pics?? wider then 235 on 8x18

I wouldn't do more than 245/40/18 on 18x8. 255/35/18 is already pretty wide on the 18x8.5.

I'm going with 235/40/18 on a square 18x8 setup

much more common to find PS2s in this size

Bought 2 new rims in 8.5x18, problem solved

225 is quite flat on a 8" wheel, 235 would give it slightly more meat but would not balloon it.
