Largest tire size with no issues

[lisn2me]

Hello guys.....new to the site. Just picked up 2013 V non turbo Century White. As i am a TSW dealer i ordered black Panorama s in 18 x 8 with +35. I'm using the stock tires for now, but what is the largest i can fit when I'm ready to change?
Thanks.

A 245 would probably be pushing it. Granted +35 is quiet a bit lower then the OEM offset, so the tire size will have to be adjusted to fit.

225/40 is perfect fit

did a lot of research on this 235/35 is the largest without spacers.
Ended up with 225/40

not to thread jack but does anyone know what offset would make an 18x8 sit flush

The charts from DT say 235/40. I'd IMMEDIATELY replace the stock tires. Tires on a wheel are to do 2 things: keep the wheel off the roar and off the curb. The 215 is NOT wide enough. it requires a 225 minimum.

In 149K miles I NEVER curbed a wheel on my BMW with 18x8s running 225s. I have THREE curbed wheels in 17K running 215s on the NA.

Change the tires before you damage the new wheels!!

LOL... that's what the steering wheel is for, not the tires.

Yeah, learning to drive saves rims and bumpers

ok going for 235/40/18 on my 18 x 8 +35

post up some pics when you get them mounted. i would like to see how good they fit and how flush it is. are you going to be lowering yours or stock height?

And fools who think they are perfect drivers, never having ever had a momentary lapse, make stupid comments trying to make fun of others trying to help.

Keep your nasty comments to yourself.

To the OP: nice choice.

Has anyone tried a 245/40/17 or even 245/35/17?

I'm also trying to max out the wheel / tire size on my VT. Does anyone know the fender to hub distance?
