stretch tires size for 18x7 1/2??

[khmer1]

sorry ima a noob on rims and tires size and wanted to ask the pros what is a good sort of stretch look for some 18x7 1/2 rims

[LongGrain]

a stretch on a 7.5? good luck. try a 185, or smaller if you can find it.

[Matej]

It will be nearly impossible to find 18" tires to stretch on 18x7.5, sorry.

[iHeartTheTouge]

this is the smallest and cheapest tire Tire Rack has for 18" wheels. 205/40/18. You should save up and get wider wheels first.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=S.drive&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes&partnum=04YR8SXL

then Tire Savings.com has Toyo Proxes 4 in the same size for 129$

https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop.php?action=findMan2&manufacturer=Toyo&tirename=Proxes+4&season=

But there will be no stretch.

^^^^ Yep you can get some very nice staggered wheels made by ADR for cheap. might not be able to stretch the fronts but you can stretch the rears. they are 18x9 rear. 600 bucks on ebay

[Maiku240sxS14]

Wow...7.5?!! and you want a stretch tire on them..Man good luck.

ADR = Pigs. Heavy and cheap.

[NiSilS14]

255 is the absolute max i would run a 9". It also matters which brand tire you want to use.

[babowc]

lol, how do you stretch on a 18x7.5.. sheesh.

do get something 9 and up.
9 below = fail.

sooo true

[racerjake]

Sorry man. 18x7.5's look like crap on a 240sx. Listen to these guys - get different wheels. Those 18x7.5's are really made for Honda Accords and stuff, so the offset is going to be WAY off of what you need. They will look majorly sunken - probably like 1" in.

im running a 225/45/17 on my 9's with no problem. nothing insane but she's strechd

[nicku]

no offense, Right now I have 16x8 offset +10 and it came out about one inch from the fenders ALL AROUND on an s13.
And when I bought this car, it came with 18x7.5 +35 rims...It turned out just fine. The rims are straight up to the fenders all around. It wasnt sunken at all..I used 225 tires

[Jadeskyline]

OK so to threadjack considering what the responses are to the OP....i have some 18x8 and 18x9.5 what would you guys reccomend be a good stretch be on an s13 lowered about 2 inches? TIA

The assumption here is that you're also lowering the car and rocking some camber before you go 18's. If you are running 18's at stock ride height - the car will look silly for other reasons.
