i got some 18"x7.5 rims and the recomended tire size is

Offset: 40mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-110
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-18

can i go any wider?

They have rubbed a little, but I love them!

i was thinking these tires

what do you guys think?

 

Looks good, but the 225/45/18 is going to be 1/2in taller than the stock 215/45/18s. And the 225/40/18s are suuuper close to the same height as stock. Ive got the AST on my stock wheels for winter. Im about to buy new tires for my summer wheels.

 

is it better to be close to the stock height?

so it wont rub or nothin

 

Better to be close to stock height so: your speedo isn't off and so if you decide to lower the car you dont have trouble w/rubbing.
I am lowered two inches and have the 225/40/18s. I have no trouble rubbing. My friend is getting ready to put the same springs on his car that are on mine. Well he has the 225/45/18s and he is going to rub. We measured the tire height between our tires.. Thats how i know the 225/45 is 1/2" taller than the 225/40. Hope that helps.

 

heres a pic of the nitto invos 225-45-18s on my stockers.. no rubbing at all but if u get lowered like 95cam said your goin to rub..
