Hey everyone I'm in the process of putting rims on my car and im having a little issue. Before I get slammed yes i have looked at the sticky about wheel and tire setups but there was no answer to my question. So i purchased wheels for my 04 sedan and the wheels are oem 18x7.5 which I think were from a sedan guy i bought it from had an eclipse now I'm repainting the wheels and I'm in need of tires I was wondering what's the widest tire that i can put on the rear without any rubbing issues I was thinking 245-40 but I'm worried about rubbing help please

 

You would be fine with a 245 tire. They are sedan 18's right?

 

I believe they are from a sedan I bought the rims from a guy that had an eclipse cause I know the coupe comes with 18x8 in the front and i believe 18x8.5 or 9 in the rear

 

these are the wheels that im gonna put on the car that are finally finished there 18X7.5

 

245 for a 7.5 tire is not recommended... generally 235 is the widest recommended.

HOWEVER.... I put 245 on a 7.5.... and so far so good... although I'm sure there will be some tread wear repercussions later on lol

 

i thought the pic he showed is the stock coupe rims. and oem tire set up for the rear are 245/45. i always thoght that the rims sizes are 18X8

 

+1.................................. I think they are 18x8.

OP: did you check the back side of the wheels? My coupe wheels say 18x8 +30......

 

yea i checked the back of the wheels and there 18x7.5 i think there from a sedan i was looking on this guide on this website and supposedly 245 are ok for a 7.5'' rim http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

 

Athose are 03-04 coupe wheels with stats of 18x8 +30, and yes a 245 will fit on it.
