tyre fitment

Postby JKeep2.5i » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:47 pm

i currently own a set of post face spec.b rims wrapped in kuhmo ku31's. The size of these wheels are 18 x 7 my tyre size is 225/40/18 i was just wondering would these tyres fit on a 18 x 8 rim? or would this be stretching them just abit? thanks guys :D

Yes they will fit and the sidewalls will look straighter than they do now.

I'm currently running 225/45/18 on an 8.5" rim and there is stretch, but it's not as severe as I thought it'd be.
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...

They'll be fine. I've got 225/40's on 8.5" wheels.
