Can I get bigger tires on stock rims.

Hello, as I am soon in need of new tires I was wondering if I can go up a size on the rear. the car has non staggered rims (stock) with a size of [225/40/18] but I wanted to get 235 on the rear. I would get Michelin pilot sport 4s.

Is this possible to put slightly larger tires on the rear?

thanks

225/40-18 is the widest tyre that can be fitted to the stock 7.5" wide non-staggered wheels. As I posted in another thread, here is the Michelin tyre specification chart that includes the supported wheel widths: https://www.michelinman.com/upload/m...t-sport-4s.pdf

You're stuck with skinnies on those wheels. I'd get a pair of OEM 8" wide rears and put 245's on as a minimum.
