Hey everyone, What tire size do you guy's suggest putting on the 18inch SS Wheels?

 

I don't know the exact size off the top of my head, but if you go to Tire Rack and look up an 18" wheel they will recommend a tire size that will keep your diameter as close to stock as possible for speedometer calibration purposes.

 

245/45/18

 

Pretty sure they recommend a 245/45/18. But I have a 225/45/18 on my 18s

 

You know your speedo is off like 3% right?

 

Thanks Guys! Good to know, but sucks for me cause I thought I was going to get lucky on this set of 225/40-18 tires I found for a good price..

 

yes i know.




you can use that small of tire.. but i dont think it looks good. it doesnt fill the wheel well at all. and your speedo is gonna be off

 

Yeah, I'd much rather spend the extra $ to make sure it look's good Thanks for the help!

 

Plus, the thinner the profile the tire is, the more likely you are to bend a rim WHEN you hit a pot hole. I see that all the time around here. But mostly with 20"+ rims.

 

Ive got a friend whos uncle made a fortune off of ppl who would put big 20"+ rims on there suvs with thin tires & bend em in pot holes & they would come right back & buy another rim
