Will a 235/40-18 tire fit on a 18x7.5 offset +45 wheel on a 98-02 Accord?

 

bueller?

 

i just called a place, anyways for a 6th gen, its gonna be a little wide, but it will work. you MAY have to run a spacer if you have anyprobs though

i had 225/40/18 tires with the same rim size but im not sure what my offset was, i think i was about +45. anyway, they fit fine but my rear tires would rub on my fenderwell everytime i hit a bump or a dip on the street. the front rims fit fine without any rubbing. i guess it depends on how low your car is also, i have a 2.5 drop all around. i hope this helps

i probably will only drop it 1", 2" at the very very max.

 

i have 18x7.5 with +45 offset and 225/40/18 tires, no rubbing issues at all

me either, with an 1.5 in drop. not even close

 

but i hear, with a 2in, you might wanna run 35series

 

yeah that would be a good idea too, just gotta be careful with those nasty pot holes. i cracked 2 of my rims cuz i hit a deep pot hole on a freeway on-ramp

id only have a 35 series tire if the width was 305 or greater. just not enough sidewall on a 35.

 

hummm, you lost me. i dont think a 305 would ever fit. i was talking about how tall the tire is. ive heard if you lower 2in. you will have to run say a 225/35/18 rather than a 225/40/18.
