I have the same wheel size and I have 225/40/18s. It seems to ride pretty nice and it doesn't rub lowered one inch. I have an fc but I don't think its going to matter.

i wanted the 18x9F and 18x10R before but Rishie told me that the rim i wanted didn't come in 10s and the 9.5R i will have to wait till late April. I have no rims on my car now and summer is comming up fast so i settle with 18x8.5F and 18x9.0R.

so are you saying if i run 235/40 up front i will rub??

thanks for the help.

I would run 225/40-18 on the 8.5 x 18s up front and 255/35-18 on the 9 x 18s in back. Overall tire diameters are nearly identical, and the fronts shouldn't rub at all... The staggered setup will give your FD an aggressive appearance.

I do agree that you could definitely fit 9 x 18s up front with either 245 or 255/35-18s with no problems (so long as you use a 45-mm offset); and 10 x 18s in back with 285/30-18s using 45 to 50-mm offsets.

Best of luck!

I'd still go 235x40x18 up front...yes it's a little tall, but it just think it will look better on a 8.5" rim width...I'll second the 255x35x18 for the rear.

You could also do the 235/40 and 265/35/18.

that's what I would run on the 8.5 and 9.0. There won't be any rubbing problems from what I can see. you'll be slightly taller, but frankly everyone I see here runs a slight oversize anyways.

I know these will fit fine on those widths.

Thanks, Rishie

Manny is correct for O.E. sizing so it's that or this. A 265 on a 9.0" is beautiful. It'll line up well.
