What Tyres Sizes Can I Put On My 18's?

[zorb_rules]

Ok lil bit of a dumb question..

I'm currently running 18's on my car with the rears width being 18x9"

the tyres on the rears are 265/35/18.. what other size tyres will fit safely.. IM looking to go with something a lil cheaper therefore attempting to shy away from the 265's if possible..

[inark]

235s... should be a hell of a lot cheaper shouldnt they?

I had 235s stretched over 10s...

[inark]

actually i had 235s on the fronts too which were 9 wide

[zorb_rules]

yeah I was just worried about the stretching I was hoping to find a cheaper set.. but wasnt sure what sizes would be possible.. and safe

[inark]

235s over 9s arent stretched.. well hardly anyway. 10s were... very stretched. 235s on 9s should be fine

[zorb_rules]

sweet thanks.. im hoping they are 9;s lol better check to be safe now..thanks for the help.. greatly appreciated..

235's will be a neat fit or even 245 (I'm running them on a 9.5" rim) if you really want, if you want it to be slightly stretched go with a 225 but some tire places may be hesitant to do that

[ferni]

R34 GTR wheels are 18x9"... they come standard with 245's...

You could go anywhere between 265-225 probably...

Just about to buy some tyres for my 9" most likely going 215/40, if uve seen my car u know I like the stretched look

Running a 235/35 on my10" atm, yummy yummy

Just be careful, some brands of tyres stretch better than others.

Same goes with rims, some allow MAJOR stretching others dont, its upto the type of bead!

Al, recommended Bob Jane in WaterGardens, took it to them and they fitted it, but were like no way they will go on, im like look at the tyre u took off(same sizes) and hes like, ok

[eddieeeee-ro]

i found i lost grip with stretched tyres i had 235s on 9" rim...

if i was u, i'd just put 245s or 255s to save $$$

Thats awesome man

Bob Jane refused to put 235s on my 9" rim lol

I was a bit suprised, hardly had any stretch

[ABuSD]

Na na wasn't that one man lol

Western suburbs Bob Jane would probably do it, but not happening down here in the south eastern suburbs

haha, I go a springy shop to do my rears 275's on an 11" not as much stretch, plus they nankangs and dont stretch as good, thats why id rather another set of stretchy Falkens.

What rims are they anywys Zorb(34gtr?)? Do they have a nice chunky bead?

[~R33AzzA~]

Iv got 18 9.5s all round with 235 and they are stretched a little but it looks hot and you get very little tyre wall flex.

[zorb_rules]

The rims were actually off a gto.. there 9.5" wide at the rears apparently although i didnt think that wide would fit on my 33

How is 235's stretched on 9 inch wide rim?

I am running 235's on my stock GTR rims and they don't look stretched. It had 245's on it before.

Running 235 on a 9.5inch rim would be stretching it

To the original poster, there is an interesting thread of stretching tyres somewhere in the forum, unfortunately it didn't have much debate other than about the "look" of it...

Also check Wheels sizes and offsets people usually mention what they've run before it might help but you will probably find its recommended to not stretch the tyres.
