Rim/Tire Size

Wwalsto · 03-12-2014, 11:12 PM

I do apologize in advance if I have misplaced this question. Okay. So, I have the stock rims with the stock tires. I am wondering if 18" rims would still fit okay on the stock tires ? I have some in mind that are 18 x 8.75 Front, and 18 x 9.75 Rear.

I'm no expert but I don't think it's a good idea to put a 19" tire on an 18" rim.

XXRs? Stay with stock.

Me thinks you are right.

cooltoy · 03-12-2014, 11:58 PM

I am guessing OP has 18 stock rims (base).

WTF is a base model? J/k I didn't think of that. In that case I agree with chuck.

Chuck33079 · 03-13-2014, 09:08 AM

Isn't XXR the only ones with the .75 sizes?

madmike23 · 03-13-2014, 11:29 AM

It should fit. But you do have the option to go wider on the tires. I'd go wider.

kenchan · 03-13-2014, 11:30 AM

yah, i noticed them having odd sizes too.

i keep forgetting wat the front stock 18 tire sizes are, but if the are like 225's, then 8.75 will be kinda wide... stretched.

Malm · 03-13-2014, 02:20 PM

Fronts are 225/50r18 95w

Backs 245/45r18 96w

On 18" base wheels

kenchan · 03-13-2014, 02:37 PM

They do their job... in the city.

Would like to go wider but dont know what to do with my current tires. No room for storage.

Wwalsto · 03-13-2014, 03:50 PM

I have the sport model, and I believe it comes with 19" stock rims. And yes, XXR's

Oh... okay... then the 18" tires arent gonna fit.

Chuck33079 · 03-13-2014, 03:52 PM

Are you asking if you can put 19" tires on 18" wheels? No. Also, your stock Sport wheels are better in every way than XXRs. What you're trying to do is a massive downgrade in every way.
