width should be 8.5 front and 9.5 rear

for the offset.....
it depends....
for the ultimate look...it should be front +29 and rear +35
but i am not sure it will clear big brake kit and it require fender roll

forgot to bump this with it

Can I still do a 245 series tire on 7.5"?

Once again these are my specs:

Racing Hart CR's
Wheel Diameter (F/R) : 18"
Wheel Width (F/R) : 7.5"
Suspensions Changes : No Changes

And thanks for the response, much appreciated.

nevermind, I put these on my car and they fit just fine even with a 38 offset.

I'm running 19x8.5 255/35 +40. You can definitely run wider tires.

245 will be very slightly stretched but it would be fine. 19x9 +36 will rub a little if you are lowered, front and maybe back. front will rub if you turn your wheel all the way to one side. rear can be rolled to not rub at all but it could depend on your camber as well.

Why do you ask about the tire size? what is wrong with it? what should be changed? haha i dont no anything about wheels or tires i just thought those would fit

it is just most decide to go larger than stock diameter.

245 will be fine on 7.5. you can go as low as +20 and still be fine.

Do you plan on staggering? If not, 19x8.5 +35 all around. our hub size is 5x114.3..

i can't say for sure, but you may be fine. you will clear the back with 235s for sure, but the front i can't tell because its so close.

I did plan on staggering... 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 back. Mainly because I'm going with 245/35 fronts and 275/30 back tires. Car is dropped with tein flex suspension.

NgoRX8 03-16-2008 11:32 PM

my bad, that list of hub sizes are eyemessing. haha

you're only option in that case is to go +42 for both because of the hub sizes. with a 8.5 F and 9.5 R, depending on your camber set up, you can clear the rear with 275s. if not, just roll or go 265s.

Thanks a lot for the advice man. I'll go for the roll... thought about 265's, but the tires I want aren't available in 265/30

Batman&TheBatmobile 03-19-2008 04:38 AM

what offsets/tire sizes would be good running 18x9 all around with stock suspension? looks like offset options are 38, 15, 45. thanks

Nopstnz8 03-19-2008 06:34 PM

Would this work? I am probably going to be buying a set of staggered Volk SF Challenges in 19x8.5 offset +42 and 19x9.5 offset 40. I was wondering about tires. Would it be possible if I wanted to keep the staggered look I could get 255 tires all around? If not I will just get 245's in the front and 275's in the rear. How is the ride for a staggered setup with 245 and 275 compared to stock for a daily driver? Thanks.

Jedi54 03-19-2008 10:58 PM

Wondering if this will rub:

19x9 +40 with 255/35/19. Car has Koni struts + S Techs

canaryrx8 03-20-2008 12:47 PM

didn't read through the whole thread, but here's a link to a great tire/wheel sizing calculator if nobody's posted one yet:

pdxhak 03-21-2008 04:09 PM

that should work fine:)

jones75254 03-21-2008 08:01 PM

18x7.5 rims with 245/40/18 tires, will they fit alright? I know jack about wheel/tire fitment.

Jedi54 03-21-2008 08:14 PM

forgot to mention: will that fit in the FRONT?

chrism 03-21-2008 08:34 PM

i noticed im right around the edge of fitment with a +35 in the front on 8.5....its damn near flush and i can still turn lock to lock with no hit

Jedi54 03-21-2008 08:38 PM

you're pretty tight with 8.5 you think 9 will work?

chrism 03-21-2008 08:50 PM

9 will but i dont know about 35 offset....there may be 5-10mm of room but i wouldnt want to chance it.....but if you had a higher offset you can definately go 9

pdxhak 03-21-2008 10:46 PM

I'm not sure 19x9 +40 running 255/35 will work up front. It may depend on tire brand. Anyway check this thread for pics.
