What happend?

 

Yes, I am running 225/40/18 Falken ZE-512s on my stock rims... they fit just fine!

 

from what I have read, that tire size will def fit on the stock rims. Plus you should only be out by about 2% on your speedo which is good because it wont affect abs or anything

 

225/40/18 is what I am rocking. Check the Yokohama's out. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....odel=AVS+ES100

They are awesome tires. Excellent wet & dry traction. I wore my first set out after 17000 miles and that is with tacking it to the track and beating on it daily. I love these tires.

 

isnt that pretty cheap for a performance tire? will they be any good? im sure they are but its just one of those back-of-the-head "they're so inexpensive" thoughts

 

is there anyway i could possibly fix the speedo then, because i surely do not want any more tickets.

 

What about the falken 912's in a 235/ 40 / 18?

 

They're 2% smaller........so at 60 mph on the speedo you'd be going about 59 mph......not enough of a difference to bother at all.

 

yeah i have 225/40/18 and they fit good no rub
haha and 235/40/18

 

It is cheap for a performance tire, but trust me. They perform very well. I manage a shop and have a lot of experience with tires. These are the best overall tire.

 

I've got, Eagle F1 GS-D3. They look awesome and grip like hell in water.

i just got me a set of these....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...191348050&rd=1
$445.00 out the door, not bad imo

 

i have those, except in a different size and i love em.

 

Cool thanks for your input. Im sure thats what i will get.
Texas SS why hahaha at the 235/40/18?

 

Because his rear tires are bigger than his front tires.

 

subscribing...i need some new, cheap, reliable tires that will last good (i dont street race, i dont need kdw's)

 

Nexen N7000. I have them on my 18's. They're very cheap, but still good quality. W speed rated, and A/S.

 

^ Those Eagle F1 GS-D3 is the best overall performance tire made.

 

those kumho Ecsta SPT's look GREAT. 90 bucks a tire and good reviews on everything.

our damn stock pirellis have a 4.7-4.9 treadwear rating...unreal...i dont know how i got 23.5k miles out of them, considering this was my first car so I drove SUPER spirited for the first year.

 

i want really wide tires on my stock wheels... will the 235/40/18's fit?? how wide can i go? right now i have 225/40/28.

 

wouldnt that create excess drag? i could see where you would want the traction on the front but to have bigger on the back just for looks....

 

From what i understand the 235/40/18 will fit on stock wheel. It seems to be the closes to the stock tire dim. than the 225/45/18

 

Who know's for sure or where I find out???

I need new tires and need to know which size is better togo with...(stock tire size sucks for buying tires)

 

235/40/18s are 25.4" OD

225/45/18s are 25.9" OD

The 235's are closest to stock OD.
