Title: Tyre size for 18" rims?
Post by: evo_ray on May 31, 2007, 06:45:28 PM
If I fit 18" rims to my FD, what should the tyre size be? Rims are 18" - 8J  with a 5x114 fittment

On 8" rims? 225\'s or 235\'s /40/18 not much wider then that i\'m afraid. I\'ve always tried to get at least 9" wide rims on the back with some 255\'s but i guess it depends on how your going to drive it.

BTW its not the PCD (5x114) thats realy the Issue, you need to check the Offsets of the rims.

There\'s a useful link to a calculator in the Wheel and Tyre section.
