18" (215/35/18)

Will that size fit nicely or would it rub up?

I dont believe so, but that aspect ratio is a bit low and your speedo will be goofy.

Nope, no problems unless your rim has the wrong offset. Why 215/35's? Thin tire with no rebound. Hope you don't have a lot of potholes in your town.

the correct size for our cars is 235x40R18. The 215s you are looking at are for compacts

then the package is not paired for your car correctly. make sure the offset is correct and if that is the package for your car, pay for the wider tires

215 is the width of the tire in mm.

25 would mean that the sidewall is 25% of the tire width. (25 would be like no tire btw.)

If they dont have the correct size, just buy the wheels and pay for your own, correctly sized tire.

I would suggest upgrading the tires. I highly doubt that tire package has tires included that have the appropriate load rating. 215-35 rubber bands are a poor choice for a Maxi, IMO.

there are two things you might want to do. A) buy USED, B) save $150 more. Man the wheels are your safety, you dont want to put your life on the line for $100
