Winter Tires

ClovisRocks · 10-30-2009, 03:37 AM

So I found some cheap winter rims/tires for my car. Don't know if they'll fit though. Can i get some advice. Thanks.

18" x 8"
5 x 120 bolt pattern
235/40/ZR18

Don't know if the front tires are going to rub.

That will be close. I have run 225/45/17 on a 17x8" et40 wheel without a problem. If the offset on those wheels is 40-45mm, then you may be ok, but you may to worry a little bit about rubbing.

Regardless, no one will really be able to help you unless you figure out the offset on the wheels, or at least give a picture/description of what they came off of originally.

Here's a the pics. Thanks for the input. The brand name of these rims are "Artec Av", never heard of it, but i just need something to get me throught the winter, and run flats just wont do it.

I don't know the offset.

I was able to find a little info on them, but unfortunately they come in both 35mm and 45mm offset.

My guess would be that the 35mm offset wheel would rub, and the 45mm offset would work.

Maybe some other can weigh in with a bit more certainty.

18x8.0 +45 with a 235 would work.
