Will a 235/40-18 be a problem? I do not want to roll anything on my car.

Thinking of 18x8 MAS MGR's. Can't get 225's, but 235's are available. Will this fit well?

Default

they are ET40, so no, 235s won't fit, 225s are VERY close

Ed, look for a 35mm offset wheel(s). You can still get an 8.5'' tire width.

Default Thanks Anand! Next question - Ace Lolas.

I keep coming back to these.

Default 18x8 Ace Lolas are ET35 (according to ace).... you should have no problem...

...you can even throw 245's or heck... 255's on there if you have the *****

Several folks in the S4 forum with 18x8.5 ET38 HRE wheels have managed to use 255/35 tires without spacers and no rubbing issues.

Default Ed, Gary@Ronal just sold me Ronal LZ's in 18x8, ET35 w/235/40-18's for my S4...

ET35 on an 8" fits easier than an ET35 on an 8.5" or an ET40 on an 8". The 235's should fit perfectly, AND give just a little bit of wheel protection that would be missing if using an 8.5" wide rim.

Default Some reports OK

Terry Dawson, who lives in the Southwest was running 235/40x18 on SSR Integrals (8" - 35 offset) when I contacted him last spring regarding his opiniuon on the Integrals. He was on the stock sport springs and Neuspeed swaybars.

He did indicate that the roads around Pheonix were great compared to back in the northeast and he was having no problems.
