With 7.5 in wide rims I’d go more with 225’s if you can find them. Technically with a 7.5” wide rim you can go from 205 to 245 wide but you are better off going midstream. To answer your question, tires:
215/40 to 45 R18 225/40 R18 235/40 R18 245/35 to 40 R18 I hope 24 isn’t your backspace, I hope that’s you offset. But for your car 35 mm is best but anything 30 to 40 is okay. I think even with 245’s a 42 mm offset will be okay, but it will be really close on the inside, you might have to use a really small spacer. Aaron .

I had a 235/55/16 on a 7x16 rim (42 offset) and it just scraped enough on the stock spring to be unusable.(a 225 fit fine)
If you can get closer to a 35 mm offset you'll be better off. I think Madcurl in Cali is running 275 on 20 in rims. |
