Best tire size for my rims/setup?

I'll be lowering my 98 max with either H&R's or Maxspeed springs when I put my rims on. I bought a set of Konigs: 18 X 7.5 - Konig recommends 225/40, is that the best tire size to use? Or can I go 235/40? or 225/45?? Thanks

Read the sidewall on your tire. I have the 1995 SE... stock tire size 215/60/15. Yours is 205/65/15?? I dunno... look at your sidewall and tell me what it says... or you can go plug it into that link I posted.

Good luck.

i use to have 18x7.5 and I had 225/40. I was told that 235/40 wouldn't look too right because the rim wasn't wide enough.

235 should fit fine on 7.5" wide rims. But are you going for looks or performance?
