I tried to look up to understand the wheel sizes but its not getting to my head. The first thing that i want to up on my car is the tires. Can anyone enlighten me on that?

I know that i want those tires that are i guess, wide? but everytime i go to a tire site i dont get how to find those..

 

Which wheels do you have on your car? Factory? 17's, 18's, 19's?

They are 18's from the factory

 

If you want to go wider, put 245/45's on the front and 255/45's on the rear.

quick question. if i have the 18's on right now does that mean that anything above wont fit?

 

You can only fit an 18" tire on an 18" rim, it's only logical..

but if you're asking if 19" or 20" wheels/tires will fit on the car, then yes, they will.

is it that you don't understand what all the numbers and letters are? how to upsize? maybe this will help.

ya the second one thnx

 

THANks

 

no problem. welcome to driver

 

Okay so I went to go look at my tire sizes, and its as follows:

Front Tire

225/45ZR18 91W

Rear Tire

245/45ZR18 100W

 

Yes, those are the factory sizes. Many options in those sizes available from many brands, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Toyo, Falken, Michelin, etc.

 

Im just putting this out there but is 245/45ZR18's for the front and 255/45ZR18 for the back too big?

 

Do you have a coupe or a sedan? If you want wider tires for a coupe, you could run 245/40/18F and 255/45/18R or 245/45/18R

 

hmm i c
