Who all is running 235/40/18's on stock rims? (S/C SS only)

Hello guys. Ok, I know "theexcorcist" is using Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's size 235/40/18? on stock rims. How many of you guys are running that size tire on stock rims, with no issues? I'm considering doing this and was just looking for feedback and thoughts. I did see the other thread, but it didn't contain the information I'm looking for. I know that it's pushing it, going with that wide of a tire on stock rim, but I think we can get away with it. So again, just seeing who's getting away with this. Thanks.

Im runing them on rims that are .5" wider then stock and I cant see how you could run them on a 7" rim without problems and still get the performance you should. Almost ever tire that size recomends an 8"-9" rim.

Mine recomended an 8" rim as the min size and the 7.5" That I have is just barly cuting it.
Any smaler and these tires will not seat to the rim correctly.
