Stock rims w/ wider tires

[Pir8pete]

Whats the limit before it will rub using the factory Si rims? stock is 225/40R18 and they still look just alittle too skinny.

I was thinking 235/40R18

or could I go 245/35R18

I can get 235/40R18 MICH BW WI PILOT ALPIN PA3 (Green X) 95V XL for $243 each

@Dar-Dar had a pic of 235's on stock rims I think, but I can't remember what thread it was in

The wheel fitment chart shows someone who said they ran a 245/35/18 with moderate rubbing.

Those are for 17s though. Wider thread low profile sidewalls might be harder to mount on stock 18s.

Hey pete,

are you wanting a wider tire just for looks or are you looking for more grip? You can get more grip out of a better tire than a lesser tire that is a size wider.
