Folks, excuse me for my lack of tire/wheel knowledge so you may need to speak in layman's terms.
So considering that the square setup of 18x7.5" ordered by Speeddemon99 still required a different set of tires (215/40R18) up front to avoid rubbing that occured with the 225/40R18 tire. What benefit does this leave with having 18x7.5 square over the originally sold-as staggered setup with 18x7" upfront?
TRD initially sells these with 18x7" upfront (with recommended 215/40R18 tire) and 18x7.5" in rear (with recommended 225/40R18 tire).
Obviously it makes sense that people wanted square 18x7.5" setup so they can rotate tires to increase life, and also use the 225/40R18 upfront and have larger tire upfront for improved contact area & traction. But now that they require the smaller 215/40R18 tires up front anyway this benefit is lost, correct?
Is running a 215/40R18 tire on a 18x7.5" rim less safe than running a 215/40R18 on 18x7"?
Thanks in advance for any feedback
