Will 245/40r18 tires fit on the stock 2005 18" rims?
Anyone know if 245/40r18 tires fit on the stock 2005 18" rims, without any problems?

Only in one direction ;) |
:rofl:

no
No it won't . U r allow to go up 10mm or down 10mm. So 235/40 R18 is the biggest u can go.

I prefer 195/50 on my stock wheels. Even better if the tires are from china.

ALot of people run 245 on the stock rx8 wheels. |
If you rub crisco on the wheel before they mount tires, you can easily get a 255.
|
j8: I find that KY works great for putting larger then intended things in small areas...
|
astroglide works as well
|
Those might be better, but I use those far more often and thus my supply is limited. Crisco is much cheaper and works nearly as well.
|
Just to kill two birds with one stone, I have a question. What's the widest tire you can fit on the stock rim?
|
you need a wider rim. [= go staggered. 8.5 or 9 width up front and 10's in the back. [= looks sick, could even add spacers to the rear to give it a mean look.

Autocrossers have put 275's on stock 8' wheels, but I wouldn't recommend it for street or track driving. That size tire is too wide for the 8" wheel, but they are limited in what they can do in stock class. I have run 245/40's on the street and track. I didn't see an increase in cornering over the 225/45's on the track. If you check the tire manufacturer specs, you will find that 245's (and sometimes 255's) are acceptable on a 8" rim. It's not optimum, but acceptable.

Staggered is for looks. Not for performance.

You said he needs it. There is no need to go staggered.
|
Staggered is personal preference some people who track like it some don't.
The point is this thread is stupid and pointless... |
