looking at getting new, and wider tires guys. My car is stock as of now, but will be lowered on springs in a month or so, and im just gonna put my 225 45 18's on my wifes cobalt ss since they are pretty new themselves. Whats the widest tire I can put on my stock 8 wheels? I was thinking 245 40 18's? Thanks in advance fellas

 

245/40 on stock wheels is the best choice

 

sweet man! what about wider? Like a 265?

 

or a 255, such as these
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport Tire 255/40R18 - Walmart.com

 

You realize I said best, right?

 

Ok my turn,

19x8.5 +35 F with 235 35 19

19x10 +35 R with 265 35 19

**stock hieght

 

yes, but Id like the extra width if possible. I can get a 255/35 and it not be any taller, but a 1/2' wider for the same price. Wont that work?

 

Why?

 

I like the look of a wider tire. Cant you just answer my question please

 

I'm not gonna help you be retarded. Sorry.

 

care to explain what makes what im asking retarded? Its not like im asking if I can put a 315 wide tire on my car, **** man

 

Look at the 255/40/18 size and see what width of wheel it suggests......

It's the 7th one going down and it's the part that looks like width-width

 

Most tire places will only go so wide on a narrow wheel. They don't risk the liability. They will tell you what you can and can't do. You can ask them.

 

IMHO, I wouldn't go over 245. I had 245 on my stockies. I have 275 now and I love the wide look.

 

fair enough man. Wish I had wider wheels! Thanks guys

 

Will this fit without any fender mods? Looking for a bit of stretch, any input appreciated. Going to being running Bilstein PSS9s with 1.5" front drop and 1" rear drop from stock

Work Emotion Cr Kai
18x9.5 +20 with 235/40/18

 

I was looking at the CR's or possibly the XT-7's either in 8.5 or 9.5. I have a thread going that is a few posts down about appearance and performance since I am going to autox my car as well.

With that said, on stock ride height, that would be perfectly fine. (too thin of a wheel imo for a 9.5). Though not sure how much difference that 1.5" drop will make it.

THere is also a cool link in the thread that will help you with specs and things so you can check it out yourself.

 

Untz untz rub rub rub.

 

What would you suggest? Rolling the fenders? Or different tire specs?

 

Alright I'll shoot....

Wanting to do 18x8 wheels with 25mm spacers. Tire size is 225/45. Using S-Tech springs so drop = F 1.4"/R 0.7"

 

OFFSET? https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-whe...-flush-195496/

 

Sorry, offset on wheels is 40mm. I read that thread but I don't think he is using any springs so I think he is running stock height. I just want to make sure it's won't rub or require a fender roll.

 

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-whe...2/#post3535605 This link goes to a particular post. It's not the same as the last link

I would do smaller spacers than 25mm personally

 

Thanks. I'll either go with smaller spacers or a 50mm offset wheel.

 

or wheels that don't need spacers????
