Need help with tire sizes
After looking at many pictures and threads on tire sizes such as 225/40 vs 235/40 and so on. I really can't get a clear vision on what it would look like with my new 18x8 rims
I purchased recently. Any tire size gurus out there to help me decide would be very helpful. If anyone has a quick pic to post of their tire setup would gladly be appreciated.
I need something to fill up the gap, without being too meaty and won't run into a rub issue. Something to help with curb rash. I'm on stock suspension right now, eventually getting a 2" drop going. I heard 235/40r18 is the ideal size? Especially for speedometer reading.
This is what they look like, not my pic:

245=8" wide. You want the factory outside tire diameter. I would guess 245/40z18. Tire calculators will tell you. A 245 will protect more from curb rash as well.

I wanted the proper tite size for my Speedo so I went with 235/ 40
As of yet I have no plans to lower my car be because I live in a city were if not careful they will eat your rims up.
Now I love the slammed look, but it's not for everyone.
The only reason that I went 18's is because I paid $35 per wheel for new murano's
How I deal with curb rash. Fill tire with proper psi,drive like it's not stolen and stay away from the curb. (I.e. good driving habits)

Why no just put the correct tire size on it and be done with it. 235/40/18 is the correct size. But if you don't care about the Speedo,mileage, and fuel economy and want more protection then go 235/45/18
