Tire Question

[trevorluken]

I have a tire question for yall. I am putting 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear can i use 225/40r18 in the front and 245/40r18 in the rear they said for the 245 the approved rim width is from a 8-9.5 does anybody know if this will work.

It sounds like it would work technically but I think you are running a little thin on both. I have 18x8.5's all around and I am using 235/40/18's which seem to fit perfectly. the tire goes straight up where the rim ends if you can picture what I mean. if you run a skinnier tire then it will go up from the rim in a curve to the inside. I personally think it looks ugly like that. maybe you will get some other opinions on here

you shoul go with a 245 45 18 front and 275 40 18 back... It will fit and look a lot better! That is what i have on my G at the current time.

go to tirerack.com and buy that size! Buy the General Exclaim UHP. I will bet a weeks pay check that you will be so very happy with the General tires.

Let me know what you buy. But the 275 will fit and look great!

+1 on 245/40 front and 275/40 rear... that's what I have on my wheels (same size as yours) and they fit PERFECT..

According to the tire size calculator it's also the same size as stock. (no speedo issues)
