Thoughts, suggestions, anything?

Will it work, is it not recommended for some reason, is there going to be rubbing, etc.???

Car the wheels are going to end up on is not lowered as of yet, but probably will be. They are on a lowered car currently with 245/40's and all is well.

Anything you can tell me is appreciated - thanks guys.

 

I was told that on a 18x10, 315/35/18's would be fine in the back the front I dunno so I'm going 18x8 with who know's what tire

 

Thanks AW - I have heard stories similar to what you are talking about - so I'm not too worried about the back really -

Main thing I am wondering is if a 255 will be fine on a 8" rim, and about the fronts rubbing under hard turning. Was thinking surely someone would know for sure???

 

They recommend 8.5 to 10 inch rims for the 255/35/18s.

That being said, It would work just fine. You may get slightly more bulge out of it, but there are people around here putting 315s on 9 inch rims!!!

Honestly I don't think you will have a problem at all.

 

Hey,i have 255/35/18's on my car in the front on an 8 inch rim with 5.5 inch backspacing,lowered 1.5 inches and i have no rub at all at any time,so you should be fine!!!

I would go with 40 series on anything less than 19" wheels.

- more rim protection
- Less wheel gap
- better ride
