maybe wider tires help plz
Monday, March 02, 2009 8:03 PM
i have a set of 18x8 +45 forte wheels

right now i have diamondback 225/40/18

since i got these i have been rubbing alot of curbs. when i when too look at the wheels i noticed that the wheel sticks out further then the tire. by about 1/4 to a1/2"

would i bump up to a 235/40/18 or a 235/35/18 since it might make the side wall taller

any help would be great thx

or actually i found one better i was using this and found that 245/35/18 is acually closer to stock


so i quess that that should make it wide enuff to fix the problem with the wheels sticking out

but do you think that they will rub or will i have to get a flaired bodykit and space out the wheels

Maybe try not driving so close to the curb?

That always helps me from hitting the curb.

maybe wheels arent for you then. city driving is no excuse. its not hard to tell how far you are from a curb.
