Did they measure it on the same width of wheel? Are they comparable tires or is one a "racing" type?

Unfortunately most just list section width and then in a separate column they have recommended rim width.

On the manufacturers site?

i have a question. whats the widest tire i can fit on 18x9.5 +35 on an rx8 dropped on tanabe springs without rolling fenders. ive read i can fit 265/35/18 someplaces and that i cant on others. can i get help pls :)

Yes, straight from the different manufacturers sites.

Well, if you look at my table above you will see that the width of different 265/35-18's varies (almost an inch). Tanabe drop is pretty close to Tein S techs. I don't think a roll would be necessary either way though with a +35 offset.

Hmm. Well what about my other question?

Here's a hint: someone posted that really recently

Ah thank you for your help And im a moron, i just noticed it was on the last page. I just searched this thread for 18x9.5 and read different things on it.

9k that would be a lot more helpful with the actual tire lol.

plus one @:

245/40

:lol:, okay, okay, I'll post up the brands, etc. tomorrow. Any brands/models you care to see?

Everything

18x8 +40

Get the F outta here. I gave you help in the other thread and this is the last bit of help you will get from me for a loooong time. SEARCH

they are enkei ls-rs 18x8 +40 http://www.enkei.com/lsr.html
do i need spacers???

Yes, spacers for what? Those specs are pretty close to stock. They will fit fine.

Let me guess, Toyos, Falkens, and Dunlops run narrow while Hankooks, Pirellis, and Yokohamas run wide?

I'm probably off, as it should also differ on the specific tire model (i.e. a 245/40/18 Dunlop Direzza DZ101 will run more narrow than a 245/40/18 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec). Keep in mind sidewall and shoulder design will also affect how stretched a tire looks/fits.

thank you for the actual assistance 9k

You know your stuff my man (for the most part :) ). And you are exactly right on the same size tires being different between models. For example, I am having a vibration in my wheels so I put a pair of Yokohama I had in the garage on one if the wheels and it fixed the vibration issue for the most part. I will be getting replacements under the tire warranty but what I noticed is how the Yokohama is not as stretched even though it's the same size.

But what bugs me the most is how my tires handle now that they are stretched. They feel like different tires. I will be stepping up to 265/35-18.

Good info. I was just curious about it. Thanks for showing.

Ive asked something similar before but im dying to have 10 in the rear. And i know either Ross or J will give me shit for this (sorry) but i know you guys said 19x10.5 +22 in the rear will be pretty tough to fit without alot of work. A small difference but will 19x10 +25 be a bit better ?? I just want to be able to fit it with a roll and a bit of camber. I dont want pulling or shaving tabs. I can also get these with +35 but i want aggressive and im afraid itll be too sunk. I want a flush look. Once again sorry i know im a horrible monster that should be killed i promise this is the last spec i ask. :tear::scared:

To give you an idea of the look im going for is this and if possible a bit less camber in the rear.
