205/45 16x10 Too much sidewall

harangatang · 07-20-2011, 01:24 AM

Anyone have experience stretching hankook v12 evo's? Or how they handle?

195/50-15 Dunlop DZ101 on a 10

Matej · 07-23-2011, 06:21 PM

Which would stretch easier on a 18x10, 225/35 or 215/40?
Would anyone happen to have pictures of a 215/40 on 18x10?

I currently use 225/35 but am considering switching to 215/40, unless they would be significantly more annoying to stretch.
Thank you.

Honestly, I've found that tire size x wheel size doesn't always matter.

Different tires and different types of wheels all work differently, I found that out the hard way when I tried mounting 215/40 General uhp's on a x9.5 rpf1. It was pretty much impossible. I tried cheetah, starter fluid/brake cleaner, inner tube, blah blah blah It refused. Yet other tires mounted right up.

Anyways, to awnser your question, I think a 215/40 is easier.

Matej · 07-23-2011, 08:29 PM

The 215/40 will be taller, even stretched, correct?
The main reason I am looking to do this is because I would like to tuck up the wheels a bit higher while staying at a similar ride height.

!Zar! · 07-23-2011, 09:03 PM

Yeah, it is taller.

icedsole · 07-23-2011, 11:26 PM

matej, bumping up to the 40 will raise the "body"
when i used to run 35s i didnt have to lower my car as much to get the kit
to sit level, after i bumped up to 40 sidewall i had to lowered it a lot more and now
is tucking rim to get it to sit where it was before. im having a hard time deciding on
which i like more.

If this is with the 40's then definitely this.

!Zar! · 07-24-2011, 12:09 AM

That looks like 35's. But I could be wrong.

Does anyone have any pics of a 235/35/18 on a 18x10.5 other than this one?

That looks very nice.
I ended up going with 225/40, only because Craigslist is full of them, whereas 215/40 seems to be less common.
Still like it though, lately I am into the tiny tire up front and taller tire in rear look. Race car.

visitor · 08-04-2011, 02:22 PM

matej thats my old setup .. 10s with 215/40/18 falken 512s

and new set neogens 215/40/18 on 10s
u can see the neogens have the wheel lip protection.. so r little more fat.. and i already fucked up my fenders (cut the tire) lol
so definetly falkens r better for that

DoriftoPnoy · 08-07-2011, 02:28 PM

I have 18x10 +10 up front and I want to slam the car. I plan on running a 225/40/18 ss595 federal. Will I have rubbing issues in the wheel well? Should I go with a 225/35/18 because I heard federal sidewalls run bigger...

icedsole · 08-07-2011, 06:58 PM

^id go with 215/35

CTblack240 · 08-13-2011, 09:10 AM

225/40 on a 10.5

visitor · 08-13-2011, 02:24 PM

hi guys..just had flat tire today.. with 215/40/18 on 10 wide wheel.
its there any chance to save the tire and fix it? i mean can the repair hold the 60psi installation pressure and 40 psi pressure while driving?

!Zar! · 08-13-2011, 03:15 PM

Yeah, you'll be fine.

shreeveco · 08-14-2011, 06:45 PM

Hey, I'm looking for a 225/35/17 on 10.5. Just need to SEE that it's possible.

icedsole · 08-14-2011, 07:13 PM

^ you could make it work, thats probably your only option, especially in the front
unless you get over fenders.

shreeveco · 08-14-2011, 08:47 PM

Dan?

Alright. I'll be using 20/30mm fenders. I'm planning on -14 with tons of camber in front. I'm tucking wheel in the rear right now and want to continue doing so with the VS-KFs, but I need to get the front down lower. Right now, I'm reverse raked to keep from breaking tie rods and/or binding up at lock. Since I can get 225/45 rears for free all day, I figure 225/35 up front should level me out.

215/50 rear, but you get the picture. You can imagine how bad the reverse rake is with 225/45.

icedsole · 08-14-2011, 09:14 PM

yes hi

ok, good your getting fenders! not sure the height difference but i think 235/40 would be better for the rear instead of 225/45. 100% do the 225 35 front.

AnthonysSilvia · 08-14-2011, 09:35 PM
