Tires Sizes

Can a 225/40R18 tyre be mounted on a 8.5" wide rim without problems? What kind of problems, if any, might be encountered?

it would go, but personally i would step up to 235/40/18. You want some rim protection.

It's all about protection; you can't be too careful these days, the party season is in full swing and you know what goes on at Xmas parties!

Not a problem, but slight tyre stretch so mind the curbs (as you always should anyway)
