what size tyres should i get

[matt88]

Hi everyone

 

as the title says i want to know what tyres to fit on my 18" x 7" spec B wheels (7 spoke ones)

 

they currently are RE050 Potenza's in 215/40/18

 

this size is hard to find and expensive in any brand tyre

 

i would like to get Toyo T1-R's or Proxes 4 (the new version of the T1-R)

 

what sizes do people recommend on my wheels?

go with 225-40-18,

 

A very common size so you will have a great selection to choose from.

 

Some of my faves are Falken RT-615, Kumho MX's, Hankook RS2

 

I Still do not know why the Spec only came with '7 wheels its a shame.

So i'm buying some GC010E today (18 by 7.5 black prodrives). Can I get a 235-40-18 on them without any rubbing?

offset on those and are you dropped?

[GTkansan]

No drop. Dont know the offset on hand...

thanks people!

 

i am tempted to go with 225/40/18 but when you look on Toyo website or Bridgestone website, 225 width is approved for 7.5" and wider rims, but not 7"

 

would this be a problem, or is this just the manfacturer covering themselves if the tyre was to seperate from the rim?

Proxes 4s wear very quickly. ~15k out of mine. And they become pretty loud about halfway into their short life.

You should be fine alot of members have ran 225 on their stock 7' wheels with no issues.
