Re: Biggest tire size on stock 18's

Because the rear (and the front) is 8" wide. to use a 275/40 tire, 9.5" is the recommended rim width, and (9" to 11") is the rim width range. These measurements are per the tire manufacturers. If you used 275s on an 8" rim you would have severe tire buldge, and create an unsafe condition. A 255/45, on the other hand has a recommended rim width of 8.5" and a rim width range of 8" to 9.5"
