Quick question: Are 235/40/18 tires safe on a 7.5" rim? I was previously running 225 no problem and when I check 235, it seems that the recommended rim width is 8". Just wanting to make sure before I buy.

 

I'm sure its safe, but I don't know how it'll look. I had 235 45 17 on my 17x7 rim and it was perfectly safe (as far as i could tell). The only thing was that the side will kinda bulged out just a tad. But I think it depends on the tire, cuz 235 on some tires stick out more than others i think (at least it looks like it does).

 

They are a bit wide the recommended rim width is 8.0 - 9.5" for a 235/40-18.

 

right. but i searched a bit and found that quite a few people run 235s on Murano rims (what i have and they are 7.5") so i should be fine.

 

that would work...it is within spec

 

Correct. Absolutely no problems. They fit perfectly.

 

yea, i love those rims! OEM quality and a subtle look FTW!

I checked what I should have checked from the beginning: OE tire size for Muranos on those rims is 235/65/18.

 

I run them through the winter with A/S tires. No problems.

 

i just got some Nexen N3000 off of ebay for a great price. I'll get them mounted sometime during the winter and then put them on in the spring. sawblades with YK420s are the winter wheels.

 

perfect fit, hell you can run 245s on 7.5"s if you want
