Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior what tire size for 18's ?

i am planing to get new tire rim package. i am thinking about 18's , my car is lowered by ground control coilovers , i talked to a guy at the discountires and he told me i should go with 215-35-18's , i asked him about 225-40-18's and 225-35-18 and he said they will rub so i am really confused

in here who have lowered their cars just go with 215-35-18's or what are other suggestions? i dont want to pay for a tire which is gonna rub and will not gonna with

thanks to everyone

go with 225/40 bro - you'll be alright...

225 will not rub, the guy is full of crap. Tires have nothing to do w/rubbing, it's the offset on your wheels that causes rubbing.

Go with a 225/40 if you want a less expensive tire and it'll provide a smoother ride.
Go with a 225/35 if you want the really low profile sidewall, but it'll cost more than the 225/40.

the offsets are pretty high 42 mm by the way i am talking about g-games and i have 2 finger gap on the front and 2 and a half gap on the rear with 215-40 17's

you'll be fine with a 42 offset and I only have a one finger gap front & rear & i've never rubbed, but then again mine are only 215/35, but I doubt that 10 mm will make a big difference.

i have a question too, will 225/40/18x7.5 with offset 42 ride with out rubbing?

the celica offset is 35-45, so you'll be fine

cool thanks

I Just put 225/40/18 on my car and I love them. No rubbing or anything

but i think you have trd springs right ? if so it is normal not to rub

235/35 on 19's. I say no more

I went with the 215/35/18's. They are great. obviously no rub and the ride is fine IMO. I have no body kit yet but have 2.4" drop rear and 1.8" front

225/40/18

Dito, I have 18x8.5 rims with 225/40/18's
