    possible tire sizes for 18x8.5"? stretched tires.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    so I am getting rotiform blq's. they are 18x8.5" all around with a 45 et as told by rotiform sales man. the car is lowered on coils. I was told by someone else that the tires I should get for stretched tires are 205/40/18 is that correct? I had alphards before on stretched tires but I forgot what size they were. I am also prob planning on getting 10mm spacers as well. someone told me 215/40/18 would work too but 205 would look better. any ideas and maybe photos of other people who have stretched tires on their car or 205/40/18.

    almost like the alphards you know what I mean, the rim sround the tire pokes out a little and if you wanted to you can lay the fender on the rim if you had bags.

    Do you want stretched tires just for the look? I have 18x8.5 wheels with ET 34 and 225/40/18 tires and I'm in no danger of rubbing, granted my FTG is somewhere around 25".

    yeah, I am thinking of getting 205/40/18 my rims are et 45 and 18x8.5. I wanted 205/35/18 but couldn't find anyone that sells those so I will settle with 40

    I have 8" wheels in front with a 205/40/18 and 9" wheels in rear with 225/40/18. This may help ....
