[brucebruce0]

215/40/r18

How wide are the wheels?

[brucebruce0]

18x8 and 18x9.5 in the rear

To give you an idea, on my car I am running:

18x8 with 225/40 tires
18x9 with 255/35 tires

215 might be a little small for an 8 inch wide wheel.

a 215 on an 8 is pretty square with the rim.

OT: is it safe to run a 215 on a 8.5

i run 215 on a 9" on my ls400. no problems so far for it being such a huge car. i dont stretch unless clearance issues call for it.

I have 225 Falken FK452 on my 8.5 up front and they barely even stretched! Depends on the brand and your stretch preference.
