Any help you guys can give me is thankful. I bought a set of wheels and You guys are guaranteed to like them once I buy the proper tires and put them on. The sizes are 225/45/18 and 235/40/18
Thanks in advance. Ricky C.
If I were you, I'd go with the 225/45/18s. The stock tire has a diameter of 26.3. The 225/45 have a diameter of 26.0 That's only .3 off which will not make a whole lot of difference in speedo or odometer. However, if you ge tthe 235/40, the diameter is 25.4. Your speedo will be running faster (3.5%) thus recording an inaccurate odometer reading. Now, if you can get 235/45/18, that tire is the same dimension as stock! Bad thing about that is, that size is an odd ball size so the tire will be more expensive than if you got the 225/45's
Hope that helps in your decision
