What's the best size Tyres I should go with these 18's I'm getting tomorrow ?

 

[Adam.]

225/40/18?

 

[J.R.]

225/40/18?

isn't that tyre size to Fat from alloy to outside ? I want it to look like this:

 

[Adam.]

Well they come with 225/40/18 from the factory....

 

[Lewis583]

I'd stick with what came from factory so as not to alter the rolling circumference and speedo accuracy

[J.R.]

How about if I go : 225/35/18 .....Would that be cool ?

 

[Ash187]

That would disturb the rolling circumference... if you want it looking stretched then go for 215/40/18!

 

[crunchie]

are they 7.5J? if so, 225/40/18.

why do you want a smaller profile? means a harsher ride, more chance of damage to tyre * rim from pot hoes and worse of all more arch gap?

Well I was going for 225/35/19's on my 19's ....but decided to get some cheaper 18's .......I just want them to look like 19's...

In that case, higher the suspension to create a larger gap between tyre and arch

 

[J.R.]

Strange ....but it's probably me....I would of thought the 19's would of gone 40 instead of 35....and 18's 35 instead of 40.

Oh well.....40 it is then.....

Strange ..lol I would Of thouth of lowering it to make it look like 19's ...

 

[moag]

If they are 7.5J 225/40/18 is the best tyre size for them

 

[FranA3]

225/40 are the best tyre for 18's

Strange ..lol I would Of thouth of lowering it to make it look like 19's ...

Clearly someone hasn't seen an un-lowered car on 19s!

You wanna have another look at those pics of my car with 18's on it, and then compare it to previous pics now having 19's - I'm looking people on the upper deck off buses in the eye!!!

PS. I always had 225/40/18 on all my 18's cars - that tyre wall is a good size for cleaning
