hey guys. i did a search and couldn't find anything on this set up. I know most people want to know how wide they can go with tires but i want to know if i can put 225s in the rear on my 18" staggered setup

I got an awesome deal on 4 practically brand new blizzak 225/45/18 tires. I know they'll fit perfect on the front tires but i want to know if they'll fit on the rear since OEM is 245. Has anyone ever tried to scretch a 225 on the rear 18" sport rim?

I'd hate to only use the 2 front tires and have to keep shopping around for some 245+ rear winter tires.

 

I had 225 all around last winter. It's fine.

 

And that was on your RWD sport sedan with staggered 18s, right?

 

The manufacturer lists a recommended rim width of 7 - 8.5 inches and our staggered rears are 8.5, so you should be fine; not much stretch at all.

 

awesome! thanks guys.
