can someone recommend a good tire/wheel size for a 2.4l ss?...im thinkin somewhere along the lines or 18x7.5 or 18x8.0(would this size even fit our car?)...but im not sure what tire size to put on them??...any help is appreciated

 

215/40-18, thats good for 18x7 to 18x8

If you get an offset of about +40 then the 18x8 should fit

 

so then im good with 18x8 with anything over 40...that leaves an offset....what sizes are most of you guys runin on your aftermarket rims?...18x?

 

Well I"m moving from the stock 215/45R-18 to 225/40R-18 for my daily drivers. Much more common (if not THE most common) wheels size for 18s so there's a HUGE selection and the prices are very reasonable.

 

tirerack.com, go there and get examples for ofset and wheel/tire size. It's a great site

 

I think most people are runing 7.5

Oh and i think you misunderstood, the +40 doesn't meen anything more than 40 it meens positive ofset as apose to negative ofset (-40)

 

I use a 235/40/18, but mine is a 2006 SS/SC.

 

lol o ok i see..now i understand...thanks for your help

 

sure... good luck

 

i think u should stick with an 18x7.5 wheel just to be on the safe side...that would really suck to throw an 18x8 wheel on there and have it rub up against the strut.

An 18x7.5 with a 225/40/18 would be a perfect fit IMO.

 

yea i agree i think i will stick with the 18x7.5's...its not worth the money to get the rims and hav em rub...thanks for the imput though

 

I dont think you got to worry about rubbing the strut, more like rubbing the fender, gravana wide bodykit alows you to put 9" on if you wanted.... like I said, It's all about offset you just got to find the perfect offset and you're set, I would recomend going to a wheel and tire shop to get some profesional measurments if you wanted to go above 8" though

 

that's what i thought too.

18x7.5 inch rims and 224/40/18 BFG KDW 2's are enroute.
