Edit: Hmm didnt relize you've made multiple posts

I pretty sure though out the 112 pgs of the this thread there is some one who is running the same size rims as you.

When i was looking to find out what size tire to run for my 18X9.5's i searched that thread until i found someone with a similar setup and did the math for what tire would fit.

if I could afford the rims I wanted I would have them... but I am a budget... but thanks for nothing....

trust me I have spent hours upon hours looking for what I wanted and can't find it.....

hence why i asked the question...

but NM..... i guess this is the anti help forum....i will figure it out myself

try a 205/45 in the front and a 225/45 in the rear. you will have a little stretch and thats about it. you are not going to find the information you are looking for in any of the threads on here because 7.5's are extremely small wheels to be rocking on a 240.

buy some Feddy's in those sizes i posted and you will probably be happy.

Cant stretch 7.5. The smallest 18" tire I was able to get a hold of is 205/40 and I work at Americas tire CO. I tried stretching 205/40 on my 18X8 wheel and was disappointed. I believe if you want to get smaller than that you would have to import it from Germany but totally not worth it if you got 7.5. It also matters what tire it is. Lots of tires stretch different. The ones i think that stretch nice are either Dunlops, Falken, or the BFgoodrich KDW nt. I have a 9.5 in the rear and put a 225/45 and pleased with it. If your not looking for a lot, go with 235 or 245. Get a wider front wheel also. Just my 2 cents

not all Falkens stretch nicely. Azenis RT-615's have a pretty wide build and dont really look all that stretched on a 9.5

I dont think you'll be able to find anything to stretch on an 18x7.5. Talk about a fucking bicycle wheel :rofl:
