Hi all,
Looking a replacing the OEM tyres which I got 40k out of (apparently another 5k left in them). While I am at it, thought I would replace the wheels as well.
This is the tyre/wheel combo I am looking at, I have three questions:
1) Will it fit
2) Will it rub
3) Have I chosen the correct tire size for the wheel
Wheel
18x7.5
Offset 48mm
5 studs, 114mm PCD (5-114 bolt pattern)
Backspacing: 6.18"
Tyre
235/45 R18
All help is muchly appreciated
Leave the Honda alloys on,they suit these cars best...

Wheel
18x7.5 stock is 8" wide, not recommended to go narrower
Offset 48mm stock is 55, but this is ok
5 studs, 114mm PCD (5-114 bolt pattern) ok
Backspacing: 6.18"
Tyre
235/45 R18 make sure weight load rating is 98
Thanks for the reply natnat, appreciate it.
Out of curiosity I was looking at 19" wheels (19"x8.0). Given that I currently run 225/50 R17 what is the tyre size that is recommended for 19? I am not too sure on the width to go for
Would a 18x9.5 with a +20 offset fit??
If not, the would 18x8.5 +35??
19x8 will fit fine. As for the tyre sizes, depends on if you plan to lower your car, if so on what etc. If you don't plan to lower your car at all, I'd probably do 225/40/19 or 235/40/19? It won't be stretched at all/much. I'm currently running 19x8.5 +29 on 225/40/19 and the stretch is very minimal - I don't like really thin tyres.Quote:

18x9.5 +20 would require quite a bit of work on the front to fit, not to mention camber and stretch tyres.Quote:

But note, if you're going to lower your car, you may need to roll your guards depending on how low you go and what tyre size you choose. Though, you may be poking if you don't lower the car with those specs. I can't remember exactly how my wheels fit when the car wasn't lowered because it's been a while + my guards are rolled + I lowered my car before I bought wheels.
Hope I didn't cause too much confusion.
no & noQuote:

That should be fine as the width is only half inches wider and also the offset is not too aggressive so minimal work can be done to fit them. Done even need guard rolling!!Quote:
