hey hye hey i got a tyre wheel question you got the answer ?

Postby Robertsbrock » November 27th, 2011, 12:16 pm

Yeha stupid subject statement but anyway.
Issue is i need new tyres for my car and i went to a local tyre joint friday for some tyres and anyway the bloke there had some 245-18's there and i was going to buy them till i found out my tyres on the car are 225-18's and theres not enough clearance. Went to another place and bought 2 235's for the rear. Today i was told i coulda put the 245's on the rear and 235's on the front , what your opinion ?

It really depends on the offset of your wheels. wrong offset 215's will hit !

So your guy could have been right, have to see it all first.

as above, depends on offset, and also the profile.

typically 235/40/18 are the normal size for the front.
same would apply to the rear, but you've got a bit of leeway, i was running 265/35/18's on the rear of mine, they scrubbed but the wheels were sitting out a fair bit.
