What Tyres Sizes Can I Put On My 18's?

[KURAUN]

i had 205s on a 8.5inch rim when i bought my wheels

they were very stretched

[inark]

i once had a std size condom stretched over my rim... was crazy... the st kilda st crawler with crusties on her mouth said she wouldnt do it so i had to take it to a brothel... cost more... but probably a better result in the end

does anyone know how wide ya can go under the back? i've got 265 and i'm just wonder how much wider one could go...

[ABuSD]

wider on what from what?

i mean generally, how fat a tyre will fit under the back without rubbing

Which car? Which Model?

and what offset - it basically all depends on what offset the rims are

series 2 r33

lol, i dunno, the offset you would need to get maximum rubber...

[ABuSD]

stock guards? Lipped at least?

You can go to 400's with some modifications

Good size

400/10/18.....you are going to need to modify a 44 gallon drum slightly.

Not to mention flares.

[ABuSD]

HAHA @ 40gallon drum!!

Im running 275s on the rear end of my S1 33, and theyre stretched onto an 11" rim id say maybe(if they make them, im no tyre expert) a 295 would go on it no problems, but getting an 11" rim into stock not even lipped guards may be a slight headache, maybe 11" with a +40 or +50 offset would do it, but i dunno what it would scrub against on the inside, like hit the suspension or something.

Plus I dunno if u slam 33s how the camber turns out, id say the height of your car would make a difference too?!?

Probably best to talk to a tyre shop, actually a few tyre shops.

U really need a list of people who are running fairly fat tyres on the @ss end of their 33 with stock guards to post up their rim width and offset. Change the title of the thread so ppl do list their sizes and go by that maybe?

Or u could go out to your car when the rain stops and measure up your current rims, plus the distance to the closest inner object(ie: springs), plus the distance to the edge of the guard, do the math and u have the answer

I have no idea what my offset is. However im running 265's on 9.5 x 18 at the rear on a S2 R33 gtst. I know spacers had to be used.

[ABuSD]

How big are the spacers? If u can find out the offset that will help u a bit.

Are the rims your running those in your sig? Axis Hiro? Lenso GT-05?

How much room u got left between the outside of the rim/tyre and the guard/wheel arch?

I reckon a 275 no problem or maybe even a 285(do they make these?) would get under the @ss end!?!

Guard mods FTW!!!

[morgsj50]

cheers, i gotta get the fronts replaced soon and aligned i'll get em to sus it out when i do it...

Yeah they are the axis hiro. But im not planning on changing mine. Wont know with guard room until I change suspension as right now its sits pretty high.
