5x114.3 is your number.

Couple of clicks on the internet and I found this.

Fronts will be fine. Rear you might need to roll the well if you use the 255's.Especially being a 40 series. Most people with that size would use a 35 series at the most.
The 245/35-19 tire in the back should be fine.
I have 265/35-18's on all four corners and I have no issues.

Ok, so the offset and tires (the ones on the wheels) will fit fine with no rub or rolling necessary... im assuming I won't need wheel spacers either... Maybe i could ask about a better price if he doesn't include the extra tires... sounds about right?

Hoping to get some tire help. I finally got some rims - 19X8.5 in front and 19X9.5 in rear. Just wondering what tire size is best? I would like to lower it in the future (maybe some tein springs) too, and would like them to clear okay. Thanks!!!

^245's in front and 275's in the rear would be a good set up. As for if they will fit with some tein springs, it depends on what the offset is.

Thanks!! Offset is +45mm. How big of a sidewall would you recommend?

^In the rear get a 275/35. For the front I would say a 245/40.

f:225/45/18
r:225/45/18

What kind of width and offset should I get for my wheels if I want it perfectly flushed with the fenders?

Thanks.

If you are talking about stretching 225/45 on 9.5" wide wheel. You'll be fine, thats a good small stretch.

If you dont want to do that much of a stretch, a 255 will fit nicely, up to 275 being the widest.


If you are talking about fitting a tire that is 225 with a wheel 8" will be the best bet. But like I said you can stretch the tire if you want.

I personally would not recommend stretching a 225 on anything bigger than 9.5" but people do it all the time, and are fine.



225/45 on 10.5" wheel
