Tire Sizes that are OK to use... - Page 11

CIVIC's "R" US · 05-22-2008, 09:48 AM

I'm new to these cars. I wanted to know if the 235/40/18 tire will fit on a sedan with 18 X 8's and a 45mm offset (front). I was told they would but in here it looks like no one has tried this. Will it fit? If not, will I have to roll the fenders in with the rolling machine? I just want a bit more protection on my lip with more sidewall.

Thanks for any advise...

wats the tires size for the 18X8 5-100 45BR wheels???

CIVIC's "R" US · 06-07-2008, 09:41 AM

Well everything worked out perfect!!!

235-40-18's in the front with 18x8 with a 45mm offset worked---NO RUBBING!!!
235-35-19's outback with 19x8.5 with a 45mm offset worked---NO RUBBING!!!

Did you check if it would rub when you are turning and hitting a bump? That's when most find out the tire they have is too big. I don't understand why everyone wants such wide tires on their wheels. 235 seems a bit much on a 8 inch wide wheel. The tire measures 9.25" wide man.

215-225 are prime tires for 7"-8" wide rims.

Got gunmetal 5zigen's. I have 215/45/r17 with the 17X7 in the fronts. And 225/45/r17 with 17X8 in the rear. will these fit? Or do i need new tires? I have an 07 fg2...

***MastaSSIII*** · 06-26-2008, 09:02 PM

how do i know what offset to get, im looking to get a 17" wheel, but the look im going for is, I want the wheel to be flush with the body, anyone have any pics of there wheels and offset...?

CivicEX · 07-11-2008, 02:18 AM

for that flush look you need the off set between +30mm - +35mm, it also depends on the width of the rims

flushdereal87 · 07-27-2008, 10:02 PM

215 45 16 work?

NY08Si · 07-28-2008, 08:19 AM

225/40/18 or 235/40/18 depending on how wide you want to go. Also make sure the wheel you get is 5x114.3.... 5-100 won't fit

You should look for anything sub 40. But be careful. I think the lowest someone ran was +32?

here is the tire size for those rims: 225 40 18

but do you have a drop and what is the offset on those wheels?

Dirrty187 · 08-04-2008, 01:09 PM

To be honest I'm not sure what the offset is..

No I do not have a drop though.. everything in that area is stock.

For some reason it doesn't show the 18's or the 17's on the R1 Website.. so I'm not sure what the offset is. Will the 225 40 18 work though and look good?

xvoltm2 · 08-04-2008, 01:13 PM

^yes, 225 40 18 will work but call them or email them about the offset...you need it to be ~ anywhere betweet +40 to +45...

Dirrty187 · 08-04-2008, 01:28 PM

I was looking to get some of the Falken Ze-912 tires to go with the rim.. says those are 215/35/18 on the website.. says they should fit? Will they and will it look good? Sorry for the noob questions.
