DOUCE

drive an '05 shinka, needs new tires on stock rims. Considering Nitto NT555 255/45-18. Will these fit my stock rims? Appreciate any comments.

stock rim width is 225... getting away with 245's are close, but 255's? not the best... but it's been done

most people who go wider stick with 245/40 on 8"
255/45 might fit, but speedo will be off

Stock rims are 8" wide and 245 is really the widest you should consider.

However, 245's also require a 40 aspect ratio (sidewall profile) to avoid fender rubbing.

255's (and on up to 275's) require a 35 profile and also non-stock 18x9.5 rim.

All above on stock suspension height. If you lower your suspension you'll have to further adjust to avoid rubbing by fender rolling and/or even lower profiles tires for a given tread width.

Thanks for all the comments. Any one running Nitto NT555 245/40ZR-18? They are the right price and apparently will fit on my stock rim. Again, appreciate any comments.
