Can i put wider tires on 18" wheels then recommended?
I am planning on getting Kumho 712's 235/40/18...but was wondering if i can put a wider size on them...like 245/40/18...will that cause problems, rubbing??
what's the better size to go with for 18's??
thanks

usually it's like this:
6.5" = 205-215 but u can go to 225
7.0" = 215-225, 235 is pushing it a lot
7.5" = 225-235 and i am guessing 245 might fit but hardly..
8.0" = 235-245
the wider you go, especially on big diameter/low profile rim.. the harder it will be to fit the tire on because those low profile tires are really really stiff. I had 225s on a 7.0" rim and they buldged like crazy although they drove fine.
Seriously, 235 is more then enough for amazing handling..
the difference between 245 and 235 in this case will be unnoticeable at all.
