ClimberDHexMods Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 My fiancee hates how loud it is on the highway, might ship it instead. Or finally e-dead it. I also need to drive the moving truck. I'll be gone from the 1st-4th, otherwise game for a meet. I also don't have the leggy done yet, need an oil line and turbo stud still.

It was a lot of fun knowing some of you guys. Lots of good restaurants in the Dallas area... Good luck with your move pal... Driving the truck yourself or hiring a moving company? We should definitely try to organize a meet soon - either weekday or weekend...It's so great outside nowadays... Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryouske Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 What size tires would I need to run 18 by 7.5 rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 What size tires would I need to run 18 by 7.5 rims? 215 or 225 according to Xenok.. The rule of thumb is that your tire sectional width should not surpass the tire width. Look at the tire specs and do the math. Usually they are listed on inches already, if not, just convert to inches by dividing (the millimeters number) by 25.6. Example from Tirerack Kuhmo Ecsta AST: 225/40/18 has a section width of 9.1" - so on this case not recommended for a 7.5" On the other hand, the Hancock Ventus S1 Evo even though the same size (225/40/18) has a section width of 9". So you could use that one on a 7.5" wheel... Hope this helps! Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Whats the difference between tire sectional width and tire width?? Sorry I'm confused I'm a tire noob Are you referring to each section of the tread width as compared to overall width? If so then why is 9.1 is not recomended but the 9 is? it's only a difference of .1 ??????? so confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fzanetti Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=46 There you go! I was going to post this page with this quote: Section Width A tire's section width (also called "cross section width") is the measurement of the tire's width from its inner sidewall to its outer sidewall (excluding any protective ribs, decorations or raised letters) at the widest point. This measurement is made without any load placed upon the tire and after the tire has been properly mounted on its industry assigned measuring rim and has been inflated and reset to its test pressure after 24 hours. Because a tire's section width is influenced by the width of the rim upon which the tire is mounted, the correct industry assigned measuring rim width for the tire size being measured must be used. The width of a tire mounted on a narrow rim would be "narrower" than if the same tire was mounted on a wide rim. NOTE: because the overall diameter of a steel belted radial is determined by the steel belts, there is little, if any, change to the overall diameter of the tire due to differences in rim width. The industry rule of thumb is that for every 1/2" change in rim width, the tire's section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10". For example: a tire in the P205/60R15 size is measured on a 6.0" wide wheel and this size tire has an approved rim width range from 5.5" to 7.5" wide. The tire has a section width of 8.23" (209mm) when mounted on a 6.0" wide wheel. If that tire were mounted on all of the rims within its approved range, the tire's approximate section width would change as follows: Difference from Measuring Rim Rim Width Approximate Tire section width 0.5" narrower 5.5" 8.03" Measuring Rim 6.0" 8.23" 0.5" wider 6.5" 8.43" 1.0" wider 7.0" 8.63" 1.5" wider 7.5" 8.93" Because of the different wheel widths used in the above example, there is a 9/10" projected difference in tire section width when comparing a tire mounted on the narrowest rim to the widest rim within its range. This may affect fenderwell and frame clearances when selecting optional aftermarket wheel and tire packages Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
