go for 235/40/18 ~ that will be better ~

 

[DIGGZ]

so would i have to be lookin at a 18x8 wheel ?

You could run a 235 on a 7.5" rim. All depends on how much you like or dislike the wheel/tire sticking out past the fender.....in any event, you really need to be lowered to look right with any aftermarket rim.....

yup .. ~ i ran 235/40/18 with prokit on18X7.5.. ~ and it looks just fine .. ~

18x7.5 will protect your rim from curb rash better too. The tire sidewall of a 235-40-18 on a 18x8 rim will sit pretty flush with the edge of the rim.

I also have 235/40/18, but on a 7 inch rim. Not quite ideal, but have no problems to speak of. Mine stick out slightly, which I like the look of,(chunky) but I do have the occasional rock thrown up at the side of my car. Oh yeah, and as AlterZgo says the curb protection is much improved. I have brushed up on more than one at drive-thru windows with no damage to date.

hi guys sorry i m a car dummy and i just have few questions

As mentioned above, 18 x 7.5 rims would be fine with 235/40/18 tires

so,
Are there 235/40/18 all-seasonal tires?? winter tires??

iif there are, which brand would be good?

There's a Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 I think.
All season there's the Toyo, and a Khumo.

thinking about getting 18x8 rims. the 235-40-18 tires are just right, correct?
what offset should the rim be?
