Some tire and wheel help - 225/45/18

[alansupra94]

Well after going into my basement, it seems that my Dad has a set of 225/45/18 Blizzaks and ASA rims (5x114.3) bolt pattern.

I was curious if this would fit or not. It looks kinda big but I figured might as well see what people say since if I try and sell them back I probably won't get anything.

Thanks,
Alan

Lowered on H&R Springs I was very close to the fenders with 225/40/18 in a 18x7.5. 45 will be too tall

Would not being lowered help at all? Or would the issues arise when turning.

You can go way up in tire height, even on lowered cars. Take 503 for example. My snow tires are 205/70r15. They're like 2" taller than stock and the car is lowered. They fit fine.

You need to find out what width and offset those wheels are to figure out if they will fit. As far as height goes, you're good to go, IMO.

Yeah the offset is about +50 and its 18x7.5.

You think it will fit?

For anyone wondering, it fits! And it fits REALLY well!

Thanks for all the help!

ohh crap. +50. Yeah, I would of said they fit because they are real tucked in.
Now, where are the pics?

I will post them up tonight. To be honest, they make my HRE 3-piece meshs look like childs play. I might have to sell them off /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif

Yeah I know they are dirty but I have been working 50hr weeks so cut me some slack. I plan to clean them tomorrow.
