Re: Planning next project

I think I've come up with the combo I want: 18x9.5-40 rims. 255x40r18 tires. I figure that based on everything I've found that the rims should fit and not rub and should align pretty much like the original rims do. The tires are supposed to work just fine on these rims and have an O.D. roughly the same diameter and width as the original tires, again so no conflict with bounce or steering rub on the car.

According to the shops I talked to, the tires will work just fine on that width of rims plus I've looked at something like 3 different websites where you can put in tires and rims and compare how they fit one vs another.

I'm not looking for extra width etc, just a good riding setup that will be easy to deal with in the future if I ever need something new down the road. If I can get that and the suspension upgrade done, hopefully I'll be ready for almost anything I expect to come against.
