anyone have 225/40/18 tires on their car?

[Carb0nBu2k1Celi]

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has 225/40 tires on their 18's and if they rub trying to get a better deal on some tires when i get new rims but if they rub then it won't help so if u could help me out and post what u know it would help out a lot thanks

Yeah I was wondering this, too....

Especially for the rims with strange offsets (i.e. G-Games with +42mm)....will this be a problem? Would wheel spacers solve it if there was a problem, and what size spacers front and back?

nobody know???

I have sort of an answer. I have 225/40/18 on my car with a 35mm offset. At the beginning it was rubbing on the rear only because I was on stock shocks (cant make them stiffer) and that was only when i went over big dips or large bumps. Now it doesnt rub even, prolly cuz I rose the car up a bit. My drop is in my sig. I have ground controls with stock shocks.

I got my wheels this weekend from a guy in MD (thanks Dennis)...He said he never had a problem with the fitment but I'm not sure how low his car was....

I will find out within two weeks, I'm waiting for my TEIN SS, then I'll have the rims and suspension put on.

You're welcome. Glad you like the rims and tires. you can fly in the rain with those bad boys. I had my car pretty low when I first put them on and they rubbed a little, but after raising it up so there was about a 3-finger-gap it was fine.

Have fun with them. And my friends got a kick out of the credit card thing--:gap:

hmm...i may be ok when i get the new rims...goin with United arrow s-05's made by ray's and i only have a trd drop which isn't much with tokico blues so fingers crossed that when i do this it won't be a prob

[ToyoGT]

you don't need 225 tires to begin with. play it safe and order 215's if you are even a little worried. i know TE's have a 30mm offset so it pushes it out more :)

i already have 215/35 or something like that im lookin to go a little wider and a little taller

[rogergts]

you'll be ok. Just try to stay in the proper offset area. I have 225/40/18 tires on my volks with +37 offset and it fits fine. At first, one of my rear tires rubbed but that was due to stock struts going out. Now, they are ok.

I have 225/40/18 with +35 offset and Hotchkis springs. No rubbing at all.

I have 225/40/18's with Eibach Pro drop, offset +32 I think

[Dragncrosmember]

Yeah you'll be safe. I have that size and a pro drop with 42+ offset. No rubing and my shocks are 4 years old.....new ones are in the mail....but yeah no rubs
