wheels opinion

the rims are ok, limited to 8" wide so 245 40 18 probably your best bet there,but it says 4or 5 lug the 5 lug patterns i found were 5 x 114 which are 5 x 4.5 we need 4.25 or 5 x 108,and backspacing should be 36 mm at 18x9 rim make sure you cover all bases my friend.

These are the new version of what I am running. Mine are still 16s and are the solid spoke which Voxx does not have anymore.

You can put some 255's on a 7-inch wheel. 255's on an 8-inch wheel would be just fine.

I had a friend with 255 drag radials on his stock snowflake wheels...
 
i have 255 55 16 now i guess you could put them on a 18x8 if you say so. to me if im going to buy a set of rims, first bigger 18,19" 20's are just a little much for my taste then width. i like the look of a bigger rear tire 275, 295 40the 295's will fit on 18 x 10 w/ 42mm offset at stock height spring and fit nicely 1" drop in front 18 x8 up front gets me where i need to be. actually the 1" drop will work in rear too with a stiffer spring/shock combo according to steeda and 2" drop up front. just dont have any $$ or id be painting now. raised enough at fundraiser, but now trustee doesnt want to let me spend my $$ on what i want. story of my life. family.

Will the 255 fit up front with an 18x8 with +40 offset. Back spacing would be 6.1", vs. stock 5.4" if the offset is 36 if 37 5.5"

I did a lot of searching and found these. The last says I can go to a 245/45/18 on all four corners. I would think the 255/45/18's would work, but the rims came with 225/40/18 and that looks close to the rear quarter. I have the Asham8 and do like her low.

is anyone running a 255/45/18 on a 18x8 with +40 offset, on all four corners? I would like to be able to rotate the tires.
