i just got 2 of my 4 rims/tires and the rims are 18x8 with a 225 tire. the tire kinda peels back off the rim and the tread isnt as wide as the wheel. Will this cause any problems?

 

That is sorta small for a 8" rim. One curb and the rims is scratched to hell

 

well i know a 235 is pretty much standard for that size, but a 225 isnt THAT bad is it?

 

I guess you'll find out soon enough

 

You'll be fine. Just try to stay away from curbs. I had a 245 on a 9.5" tire for a year, and everything was kosher. Tires are meant to fit different wheel sizes, so you'll be fine, you just need to be extra careful since you don't have the lip protection.

on a high school budget, spending $1100, I think I'll be a little paranoid about keepin these rims nice

 

spend less on the rims and more on the tires

 

well they're already bought, so ill have to wait till next time, but the tires themselves are good, just i got them a little too small...

 

Yeah, quit worrying. They plus side is it will make your turn-in much sharper.

ok, i will.....thanks

 

i have a simmalar setup a 215 on a 7.5 inch rim. it does stick in. i think it looks better, but you have to watch out for curbs because you dont have protection on the side of the rim. i have not had any problems and they feel good in turns. they are 35 series, just watch out for big pot holes so you dont drop it on the lip of the rim or it can bend.

my max is charcole pearl too

 

right...ill be swervin all over the place to protect my investment!
