What size tire for 18x8.5 on a 2003 sedan? 235/40/18 or 255/40/18

also. go staggered(8.5f and 9.5r) or one size 8.5?

If to go staggered what size tire again?


(did search and didnt had much luck)

 

a 245/40/18 should be ur best bet. as for staggered, thats personal preference.

 

I have 245 45 18 Goodboot RS-A all round. I like em.

To answer your question - I'm running 18x8.5 all around with staggered tire sizes - but it depends on your offsets; mine are ET40 front + ET45 rear

For tires, I'm running 225/45/18 Front + 245/45/18 Rear - same as the 18" OEM tire sizes for coupes

Depending on what you want - I would recommend:

For ability of rotation - 235/45/18 all around << stock size for sedan 18s

Staggered - 225 or 235 /45/18 Front + 245/45/18 or 255/40/18 Rear

I don't know if you want to go with stock tire sizes or want to go with a lower profile... I would stay with close to stock sizes to prevent the VDC from going nuts.

 

ok imma get 18x8.5 +35 & 18x9.5 +35

so 255/40/18 & 265/35/18 looks good?

 

I'd go:
245/45/18 front +35
275/40/18 rear +45

+35 on the 9.5" rear is going to stick out of the fender by 10mm.

 

whats ur offset?

 

with a 9.5" wheel in the rear, you need @ least a 42 or higher. 35 offset on the front is fine with 8.5" wheel.

 

Front is a +38 and rear is a +45, it's perfectly flush in the rear.

 

so am i better off going both 8.5?

 

What wheels are you looking to get? There might be more sizes.

 

im running 18s with +38mm offset all around and 245/45/18 tires all around...no rubbing issues whatsoever and there perfectly flush with the fender
