What tire size to put on 18 inch 9.5 wide wheels?

[deuceforty]

just curious? i dont know much about tires and wheels, what do i need?

[sr20power]

I'm no tire expert and I know some people will disagree, but I have 215/40's on 9.5 all around. And yes they are stretched. You probably want more meat on yours. Maybe 235/45....

whats the offset and do you have coilovers?

Sorry for threadjack. Hey Nismo I ordered a set of wheels 18x9+20 18x10+18 and would like to know what size tires to run?

[deuceforty]

offset +15 and yes i have coilovers

depending on how much stretch you want you could run anywhere from a 225 or narrower to a 245 or so, beyond that its up to you because itll take more work to fit the tire

225/235, 225/245, 235/245, 235/255, somewhere around there...again depends on how much stretch you want, you could go narrower

these may be rx7s but a it is a sick tire stretch on both cars......nobody stretches tires like fc owners

18x10 with a 215/40

18x9.5 with a 215/35

[yokota180sx]

except VIP owners

i run a 225/40 on a 10and a 215/40 on a 9

these may be rx7s but a it is a sick tire stretch on both cars......nobody stretches tires like fc owners

18x10 with a 215/40

18x9.5 with a 215/35

that looks almost as bad as running a +45 offset.

[yokota180sx]

your point?i couldnt fit wheels that big without tires like that

[szh]

It is horribly dangerous to misfit and stretch tires like that! You could easily have a serious blowout at speed. Yikes!

no its notyour incorrectextremely

its no more unsafe than putting a 285/60 on a 7 inch wide wheel
