go check at a tyre shop, I'm pretty sure 225s are the max u can run on a 7" wide rim. 7.5" wide and u can run 235s legally. I had this problem when i bought some 2nd hand 235s for my 17x7 and tyre shop said max I could go was 225.

It would be great if someone with the knowledge could post max recomended widths for each rim size. Im not talking about the max that will fit im talking in regard to the widest you can go before handling is hampered.

I dont have any idea what the actual widths should be but something like this

7 = 225?

7.5 = 235?

8 = 245?

8.5 = 255?

9 = 265?

9.5 = 275?

10 = 285?

10.5 = 295?

cheers

i know you can go 245's on a 8" rim. i have 225's on my stock r33 rims and the sidewalls are on a bit of an angle. i think 235's would be pushing it.

what are the rims off? 18x7 sounds like the size of a wrx wheel. in which case they have a different stud pattern to skylines. they are only 5x100, not 5x114.

What stud pattern doesn't have any relevance to what tyre u can run on a wheel.

Use this calculator. It will tell you the range of widths a particular profile tyre can go on.

thanks guys just picked up the rims they were brand new speed lite rally something or other with the correct stud pattern, and yes 18*7, called the tyre shop today also and they said 225's are ideal and 235 will fit with a slight bluge of the tyre so i'm goin 225 on the front and 235's rear

i know pattern doesn't have relevence to what tyres you can run, but it does have relevence to whether the rim fits on the car. was just making sure that he wasn't buying rims that wouldn't fit.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
