Tire size for 18x9 wheel?
 

Hai guiz, might be getting some new wheels but need to know what tire size I should run.

I'm currently running 18x8.5 +35 with a 225/40/18 tire, with a slight stretch
(pic at bottom for reference)

Does anyone have shots of an 18x9 wheel with that tire size?
Will it be a much more noticeable stretch, or very minimal difference?
Or would I be better off going with a 235 for more sidewall flex?

Thanks

235 will be fine, VW ppl stretch a lot more than that.

LOL

:haha:

hence why the teaser


ya 225 is fine

18X9 , should be able to use 275 max,
u can go to tirerack.com
theres a sectio where u can findout what tire fits wat rim size

im running 235 on 9.5 and you've seen mine before.. its somewhat of a strech but its .5 bigger than 9

Here's a 225/40 on a 9

Plenty of other pics on that site FYI

I'd check a 2007+ SE-R specific forum for max tire width that will fit (turning radius) and go with that. 9 inches is pretty wide!

I dont have any doubt that we can fit 18x9, our wheel wells are pretty large.
We use the same chassis as the rogue I believe.

But on other sentra sites there is only one guy I know of running a staggered 18x9 +12 with 18x10 +40 rear..something along those lines. Much more aggressive than my potential new wheel setup.

Thanks for the pics james, I'll check out that site

and if I can do that you can definitely put 215's on a 9, especially with a 40 series tire, higher sidewall is safer too. Just make sure you get the proper offsets though.

my new wheels are 10.5 front with 245/35/20 and 12.5 rear with 275/35/20, and that's going on a 3700 pound car, and you can't put 215 on a 9 ?


come onnnnn, doooooo eeeetttt Yamanashi dares youuuuuuu !! :haha:

Well another reason I dont want TOOO skinny of a tire is because I dont want to increase wheel gap lol

You're on coilovers aren't you? Problem solved =P

I have 235/40 on 9" wide rims up front and they're just barely stretched. Just enough to keep them from squirming.

IMO 235 may be the perfect width for a 9" rim.

he wont go lower cause his car is for "daily" :p

nah he is just a big pussy

:D

Says the guy whos riding higher than me:haha:

Hey man, look at my car and look at yours, mine has no scrapes, thats all yours is:D:D

It's too high if it doesn't scrape

ANYWAY, keep this on topic

On topic: I'd go wider than 235. Whatever it can handle, not sure who can tell you that though.

I use 235 on 8" wide on the older smaller chassis. When it comes down to it you want more rubber on the road. Sounds like you can squeeze your tires onto the new wheels if you don't want to shell out yet.

:haha::haha::haha: oh shit ahahaha
