Has anyone installed wider tires on 18x8 wheel? If so what size? Can a 245 or 255 be installed on a 18x8 wheel without a problem? Please post, need ur help. Thanks
I wouldn't do more than 40. That would be alot of sidewall.Also instead of 40 can it be 45 or 50 on same 18x8 wheel?
I ran 245 profile for a quite while with no issues. My car is at the stock height.Thanks....so 245 with no problems on hitting or anything of that sort?

Sorry. Width, not profile.I ran 245 profile for a quite while with no issues. My car is at the stock height.
Can u please post a pic of the tires installed ? I would really appreciate itI just installed 245 on my stock wheels. No problem![]()
Agreed...no wider than 245 on a 8" wheel. Any wider and it just starts rolling the sidewall in. Doesn't look good IMO. Plus, a tire too wide for the wheel has alot more sidewall flex in turns and curves. Flex generates heat. Will not handle as good.255 isn't recommended by the tire manufactures for an 18X wheel. You get sidewall pinch. 245 is fine.
