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:

 

if ur on stock suspension and have 18 inch rims, your car will look super lifted, to fill up the gap u need that drop. then it'll look great !

 

235/40 is what I'd go with.

 

Oh I agree!

Thanks Jedi Chris.

 

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)

 

245 Seemed nice and wasn't too slim. I was on border with 235/245. Some say 225 but looked too thin for my preference.

Dang that's cheap, what a steal. There's potholes everywhere here in NY so for now I'm getting tires in April then putting them on. I have a DD so being slammed isn't the best decision for me.

 

My brother has fresh 235/40 Sumitomo HTR ZII on his 18x8s. I can snag a pic later.

 

a 245 tire should be 9.6" wide.

 

Sorry, I do have 235/45z17. 235/40?18 should work real nice.

That would be great, mucho gracias.

 

Very square.

 

225/40 had a slight stretch that he didn't want anymore.

 

Hm, 225 is definitely out.. I don't need a stretch at all. Maybe a bigger sidewall? 235/45/18?

 

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
