they have the stock 225/40s on right now any way that a 235/40 would work?

 

i think stock should of been 215/45 if your talking about a ss/sc

im running 235/40s im lowerd and have no problems at all. My springs arent as much of a drop as some tho.

 

im not running ss/sc anything anymore i have rims off an 08 now and i figured 235/40 would work im curious just how big on these you can go

are they 18x8 wide?

 

SS/TC = 18x7.5
SS/SC = 18x7
SS/NA = 17x7

 

ah i think ill go with the 235/40 then

now what tire to get lol

im looking the goodyear F1s and yokahoma s drives maybe the bf kdw2s but i hear they are noisy

 

Do some research on the Nitto Invo's. They are apparently VERY grippy and quiet. That's what I will be getting with my new rims most likely. Definitely go with 235/40's with the power you are putting down. The extra grip will help you put it to the ground.

 

I'm gonna run 315/40-18's

 

Good luck with that! They might rub a WEE bit!

 

IMO the KDWs are still the best performnace/value package u can buy for summer tires.

 

I'm gonna run with no fenders.

 

What other tires have you used?

 

Heres what I have on my ss/sc. 235/40 I have over 20,000 miles on them with no problems at all and the price isnt to bad.

Nitto NT01 bad as **** race tire !!!

 

cheapest im finding the kdw2s is 720 shipped for 4 on 235/40./18s on discounttiredirect.com

on another note im really liking the bigger size for the first time today since ive had the new supercharger i was able to go full throttle in 2nd gear without breaking the tires loose, im running some semi used stock continentals that are on the 08-09 SS and they arent bad

 

235s also fit on the ss/sc

 

...barely

 

so how wide can you go on the TC without problems?

 

255-40-18... Have them on my car in the rear, no rubbing or any issues.... They only stick out from the rim 1/4 inch.... if that..... I'll take a pic and show you later....

 

Those contis are good tires

 

255s holy suit maybe I'll go with 245s then

 

They may work on the rears because those wheels don't turn, but they will rub up front when you turn. 245's MAX up front.

 

bringing an old thread back to life. so has anyone actually put 245/40/18 on their stock rims? I also would like to know if they fit and rub or not

 

And I run 245's on 7.5 rims but they corner like crap . Drag radial setup only counted on for straight line.

 

235 is the max that should be on stock lnf wheels.

 

on the tire manufacture website, they almost always list an approved rim width range for each individual tire.
