Tire Size Examples for 18x8.5
Recently purchased a set of WORK Emotion D9R from japan for a really good deal. Traditionally would go with a 9.5 but like said i could not pass this up. Now im trying decide what size tire to run. If anyone here has a 18x8.5 wheel with one of the following tire sizes drop a pic
225/35/18 235/40/18 Mainly considering the 225 or 235 but also curious to see the stretch on a 215 215/35/18 215/40/18 Much appreciated |

I had run 235/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12 evo2
But presently I run 255/35/18 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. I will try to get pictures up soon of the current set up |

Okay thank you. Do you have any closer pics of the 235, trying to see how much stretch if any on a 235 on a 8.5 wheel.

235 is ideal for 8"-8.5" wide wheels, there shouldn't really be much if any stretch. 225 is considered the minimum for 8.5" but you could totally stretch a 215.

I'm running 225/40/18 on 18x8.5" wheels and while it does seem to have a little bit of stretch, it seems to perform flawlessly and even then it has increased the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo. (625mm to 637mm) which makes my speedo off slightly. 235/40 would be around 645mm diameter, so a full 20mm more than stock tire/wheel combo. Why is there a belief that 235/40 is more proper than 225/40 in this case? 245/35 is closest in diameter (625mm to 629mm) and has almost non-existent speedo difference. |

go for it. Look at my IG in case you wanna see more pics. I don't have one focusing just on the wheels unfortunately. There is a bit of a stretch though.

The number of 235/35/18 tires available is close to ZERO. OP, tire width varies on brand and model quite a bit. Meaning a Michelin 225/40 will most likely look different than a 225/40 (enter brand) on a 18x8.5. Example: MPSS 245/35/18 tire = 9.2 tread width MPS4S 245/35/18 tire = 8.4 tread width
