widest tire that will fit on my new setup
Hi Guys,
I got a set of 18 x 8.5" ET35 (square) rims fitted with 235/40/18 4s tires. I was told only 225/40/18 would fit but I went with 235 ones and they fit so I wonder where the line is. Would 245/40/18 fit? I have stock suspension. Is there a calculation that can tell me for sure? How can I tell the margin I have for my current setup? Do I turn my wheels and watch somewhere to see current margin? |

2) When trying to fit the largest possible tire on a car, there are too many car-specific variables for you to rely upon a calculator. 3) Take the car to a shop that's qualified to tell you and that will show you how they arrived at their result.
