will 225/40/18 fit a 18 x 9.0 wheel?

[DarkGti]

just a quick one! i have brought some 18" black bbs ch reps the front is 18x8 back is 18x9 and need some tires, a friend of mine can get me a set of brand new 225/40/18 falken fk452's for £185 i just need to know if they will fit the wheels??

i got the 225/40/18 tyres on my 8's i have about 2mm overlap to protect the rims, so i doubt you would want them on the 9's mate.

i have 225 and 235 on my 8.5Js. I wouldn't go with 225 on 9J but I guess you could 'stretch' them on...

i used to have 225/40's on my 9.5's and they went on fine and had a proper bit of stretch

Go for 215/40/18 up front and 225/40/18 at the rear,the stretch will help with clearing the arches if your on coilies and like to ride low.

It'll look awesome

will they fit? that's barely even a stretch man! some tyre fitters might refuse to do it but they're wimps. Places that fit truck tyres use higher pressures and can pop the rims on easy

As above they will be ok, just be carefull with the rim.
