Quick question about tire size

[FreeStyler]

I am ordering the monoblock reps from bekkers 18X8 all around. Wondering what kind of tires to buy. What do you guys recommend? 225?235? I want the tires to look nice and be reliable. Thanks.:D

I have 17x7.5 amg wheels and 225 tyres,they look nice.
I say at least 235 or 245

SO3's or Pilot Sports?! It'd be a shame to wrap them in anything less :p


I'm stuck with NEW sumitomo's that were on the car when I bought it. Can you say "WEAK SAUSE!"

:rolleyes:

There a a range of tires size you could fit for 18x8.

From 225/40/18, 235/40/18, or 245/35/18.

I'd ran at least 225/40/18 all around or you could go 245/35/18 on the back. and 225/40/18 on the front to get a staggered looks.


Also depending on the tires brand and sizes you should go with narrower width.

For example if you do decided to go with S-03 (Bridgestone) then just get 225/40/18. The reason is since S-03 has thick rim-protection lip on the side wall, the cross-sectional width of these tires it wider than other brand with the same size.

Thanks for the tip man, im guessing that im going to do the staggered look with the tires, since my rims are unfortunately not staggered.;)
