I currently got 225/40/18 tires on my rims but its getting curb rashes like theres no tomorrow.
I was looking around for new 235s but found a decent deal on a set of 245/40/18s.
Would 245s be too wide for 7.5 in rims?

 

what kinda springs/shocks you have?

 

Illumnias and Eibach

 

streached rubber..... looks better IMO

 

235s are really the widest you should get with those rims, and you should do what I do to fix the curbing problem....park 2.5 feet away from the curb.

 

thats not true, my rims are 18/7.5 and their wrapped in some 245/45/18, everything is all good on it too

 

Yeah, 245's are good on 7.5" rims...that is what comes stock on the '04 Maximas. I've got 04 rims on my 4th Gen right now with the stock 245/45/18 tires. They fit the rims and they don't rub the car either...

 

That's the Sunset District! Used to live there myself. I miss San Francisco..

 

Trouble with curb rash, eh? Have you thought about driving better? That's really the only way to fight it....

 

should come back, its a really nice place to live at I visit SF once in a while

 

i got the same set up, no problems here

 

Whats the sunset district?

 

Easy to say for someone with a driveway garage ...

 

In SF, that'll get you Two tickets ...

 

I still parallel park all the time... just not when I get home. You just need to focus, dude.

An easy way to get better is to take a sec and aim your pass side mirror down a bit. You can see the curb, but you'll also have to be careful not to slam into the car behind you (because you won't be able to see it as well).

 

isnt the picture you posted in the avenues? where the N and L trains roll thru...if it isnt then it might be richmond.

 

No, no where near the sunset or richmond district.

 

You're talking about 45's. Those are taller and they'll fit. 40's are no profile...not much flex, so whey wouldn't be good.

 

245/40-18 will work. I have them on my 7.5 inch rims. Absolutely no problems

 

seriously, all tires are going to get curb rash if u run into them.

 

Theres no such things as 40 series tires. . . 35, 45, 55, 65, 75. .. . they all end with 5.

 

ummm
there are..... 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and more... =/

Thats a link to the nissan mini right before we got the 18s. Pretty aint it?

Ok, i know .... I just wanted to show her off

 

the 245/45 on the 6th gen is good, but the 245/40 isn't recommended.

 

What hole did you crawl out from? Get updated. How did I get 40s on my rims?

 

please don't tell me those are volk gt-c wheels you are curbing.
