i was wondering how wide of a rim can fit in our cars. the guy at the tire store said that if i get a 18" whith a 215/40/18 on it it might not fit because my car is dropped. it is only dropped 1.7". i dont think he is right. he said the tire will be to wide. if someone knows, please holla!

18x7.5 w/ a 225/40/18 will fit perfectly


you may even be able to fit a 18x8 rim under there. Do you know what offset you are gonna get on the wheels?

tolga

the wheel i want is 18 X 8.5

That's gonna be too wide.

Yeah, an 8.5" wheel is too wide.

hey i have spokes on my car and i dont have a drop yet because they are 8 inches wide but there an adapter so it makes the rim even wider so if i drop it the wheel aint gonna rub the fender well its gonna rub the fender itself, i want to drop it but i want to know if anyone can give me sum advice on sum stiff springs

I have 215/40/17's on my car, i dont know if that helps you at all. My wheels are only 17 x 7.5

I have a 2.25" drop with 225/40/18

I was worried too, but it fits perfectly!
I can even turn the tires fully without rubbing.

whats the diff between 225, 220 215, 240 all the first numbers when saying tire sizes i have 225/40/18

blo2ck

pretty sure it's the width.

CLpower

225 is the width in conjunction w/ the height such as 40


225/40's are taller then 225/35's
