AtlanticLGT Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 This may sound like a stupid question, but will the stock size tires fit on an 18x8 rim. I found a set of BBS SX rims on CL for $400. Rims look awesome and seem like a good deal, but I just put new tires on my stock rims. If they don't fit, what could I get for my stock rims with new tires? Thanks in advance.

boxkita Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 with a good tire stretcher, you should be able to fit your 17 inch tires on your new 18 inch rims. really! If in fact you made a typo, and the tires & rims are the same diameter, it could work, however, the tires would appear stretched and susceptible to damage very quickly. Best to get 225 as they will have square shoulders, highly desirable from a handling perspective. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Check Tire Rack. It'll tell you if the tire in question fits what width rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
