Yes or No:

Would a 235/40/18 tire fit an 18x7 wheel ?

Thanks guys

 

well, i put a 235/40-17 on an 17x7 wheel. does that answer your question?

what finish are you gonna get?

 

I’m no tire expert, but I think 235 would be pushing it on a 7” wide wheel.
235mm is equal to 9.251 inches.
Don’t forget an 18” will have less sidewall then mattg’s 17” wheel.

I have 225/40 on a 7 1/2” wheel and that’s as wide a tire as Falken recommends.
I do plan on replacing them with 235/40 when it’s time because that’s closer to the stock diameter.
Assuming I get the OK from the tire shop.

Your speedo must be WAAAY off.

A stock 215/50/17 has an OD of 25.46”
Your 235/40/17 is only 24.40”

That’s too much for comfort.

225 on 7" is normal... i have 225 on my stock 6.5s... 7" wheels probably can get 235, but the tire will be pulled in causing a buldged look.... it will stop you from curbing your rim, but damaging your tire!!!! I would say 225 not bigger...

 

I got a great deal on centerline rpms (polished)

New 18x7 for 1k

Thats a good chunk of my tax return

 

I may consider Centerline if they can make 18x7.5 or 18x8 with +45 offset.... the only option now is 19x7.5 +42

 

Ok I'm going to ask a newbie question here. What does the offset mean? +45, +42 mean nothing to me right now, hopefully someone can change that.
