Tire size help
i'm considering getting a new set of Apex-arc-8 wheels. the people at Appex recommended 225/40/18 or 235/40/18. can someone explain the difference between to two sizes.
Thanks |

those are tire sizes. the only difference being the 235/40/18 is slightly wider, 10 millimeters wider to be exact. which also changes the aspect ratio of the sidewall to the tire width. the 235 tire will also be slightly taller

225 is width
40 is sidewall 18 is diameter the difference in 225/235 will be width and height. width: 225mm vs 235mm height: 225 x .40 = 90mm 235 x .40 = 94mm diameter is same for both at 18" you're basically looking at 4mm difference in height. i'd go with 225 only b/c assuming you're going with 255/35 rear, they're essentially the same height (90mm and 89.25mm). plus 225/40 is a more common size so it'll be easier to get rubbers. |

Since this is a tire help thread and he's been helped...
Will 245/40/18F and 275/35/18R work on stock wheels, stock suspension, no spacers and NOT rub? Also, how big spacers will I need to make my wheels pretty much flush? and does our stock suspension have enough travel to hit the tire when I make them flush?
