What do you guys think would be the widest tire you can put on teh stock SS/SC rim? They are 7.5 wide right? Would 225's fit?

 

235's will fit for sure. Someone on this board has them and has posted pictures. I dont know if any larger will fit though.

 

yes 225's will fit you could even go with a 235 40 18 .

 

i have 235 40 18 and they fit with no problem. anything wider and it would be a wise decision to go with a wider rim. But there is room for wider.

 

I have a question. I want the widest tire you can get on our stock rims, but i want to goa little more lower profile on the side walls. What size would that be? And what would be the best tire to get for overall rain/dry.

 

the stock wheel is 18x7
i have 225/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE950s

attn chevy powered
i need pics of your wheels, do you have any probs with the wider wheel?
what size tire? i am lowered and clearence is still pretty decent

with a little slight trimming a 245/45/18 will fit (test fit a set of 350z wheels that ironicly didnt fit the z)

 

I usually stick with the stock tire size but I see nothing I like in the 215/45/18 size not to mention that due to the rarety of that size they are $$$.

Anyone have pictures of some 225's on the stock rims?

 

Those are my wheels, I have had no problems with the size. I'm going to try to run some 245's in the spring with wheel spacers. I have the stock tires on the for right now. With it lowered it might be some issue since the do stick out quite a bit more than the stock ones do.

 

i have the eibach sportlines on my ss/sc, would the 235/40 still fit?

 

bump so i can get this question answered^^^

 

i got a set of 225's on my rl and you can feel a difference between 215 and 225 i can just imagine the difference between 215 and 235

 

What do u mean by difference exactly? Handling? ride comfort?

 

agh! i just want to know if 235/40's will fit on my ss/sc with sportline lowering springs

 

yea
i confirmed it
we got new fuzions in today and i mocked it up out side

 

alright cool, thanks a lot

dammit, it's cobaltss. com if you hadn't figured that out allready, it's my tires...

 

What is the widest width that we can fit without rubbing occuring as a daily driver, this is not limited to the factory rims. I see above that supposedly you can fit 240's maybe 245's with trimming on the factory rim, so am I correct in saying that the widest tire would then be 240 or 245 on rather a factory or aftermarket as the widest width?

I haven't seen this made clear in previous posts.

Thanks.

 

235/40-18 will fit on factory rims
I have them on my car

 

The Pirelli P6 FOUR SEASONS 235/40/18 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....peed_rating=ZR
whats everyone think?

Also whats the take on speed ratings? Has or is anyone gone or going below z rated?

 

Stock wheels are W speed rated. Y rated are pretty common, and a few people have gone to true Z rated.

- Solo

 

Here's a cheaper tire with much better ratings from the consumer.

 

what would be better to go with 235/40 or 235/45. hopefully i'll get my car back this week to order these for it

 

235 will be less than 1% off from stock as far as revolutions per mile. You want to keep that as close as possible...
