our stocks are 215/45 18 and mine are worn to **** question will a wider tire sized 225/45-18 fit fine on my rims ?

 

yes it would, you could even do a 235/ 45 or 40/18. It has been done.

 

ok great.... i am looking at the pirelli pzero nero tires they are $125 each and seem to be a lot better then the stocks with wear ratings and traction through rain and snow

 

Those Pirelli's look nice!

 

yea i know i like the tread pattern a lot better then the ones i have now.... i've been running on bald tires for about 2,000 miles now already i dont like the wear on the stock ones they are too soft... it seems these tires are much better escpecially for a better price also

 

Personally i would never buy another pirelli tire in my life, there are so many other high quality tires out there to choose from. Get a BFgoodrich tire liek the F1 or something like that.

 

yea.... are the pzero nero honestly better then the pzero rosso's ?

 

Check out the thread https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ht=widest+tire

They say you could go up to 245 but with trimming, not sure if thats because its lowered or not. Although it seems the 240 should fit without a problem.

So is that the widest tire we could fit no matter what rim, that is without rubbing as a daily driver? Just wondering because I want the most traction and will buy aftermarket rims to get it, thx.

 

Bump.

 

Falken 615's are the ****! Check 'em out, I think someone actually just posted them in the gallery.

 

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 have seen 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.

 

I just installed a set of 225/40-18 on my 06 SS 2.4 on 8" wide American racing Casino wheels with no problems so far. They look great and fill the wheel wells without extending pass the wheel lips. The main thing to watch changing tire size, is the overall diameter to keep your computer in line and the speedometer correct.

 

^^ I had the 8" casinos on mine and i loved them, they were just the machined look not chromed. There a nice set of wheels good luck with them.
