18x7.5 tires??
I just bought some new rims and the size is 18x7.5 +35 off set.I have no idea how to read tire sizes,and that leaves me at not knowing what tires to get for my rims. Any help please?

Most common would probably be a 215 or a 225 with a 40 sidewall

These aren't Motegi MR7's are they? Mine have the exact same specs and I run the same tires sizes mentioned above. It works fine. But in case you didn't know, 18x7.5+35 is not a good wheel size for a 240. I can't wait to sell mine...don henley wrote:Most common would probably be a 215 or a 225 with a 40 sidewall

Start off by getting yourself some new wheels, what you have are going to look like very bad, sell them to some kid with a honda.Tayluh_240 wrote:I just bought some new rims and the size is 18x7.5 +35 off set.I have no idea how to read tire sizes,and that leaves me at not knowing what tires to get for my rims.

Read this, it will help you understand what sizes and offsets mean, and why they matter. Then check out the fitment database that way you can see what all those numbers look like on a car.

Did you buy them from walmart?
VSR is like the ultimate cheapo, knockoff, wannabe wheel, and I rock Rota's.
I don't care if someone told you they are "for an S14", they are not going to look good, because they are going to be sunken in, and have fun with them when they bend like butter. You might want to do some research there killer, before you go making a bigger fool of yourself.

I just got 225/40s for mine, they're perfect.
