it is almost time for me to replace my tires on stock 06 rims. i am thinkin of going a little wider and meatier. i know already those of u that will say just get wider rims but it's just not an option at the moment. i want tires that'll hold me over til i can afford rims and to fill the wheel well a little more. please help me out with tire sizes and some pics. thinkin about toyo t1r's or bf goodrich g force. thanks guys for any input and happy new year

 

What is the width of your '06 rims (18x8" all around)?

I assume the diameter is 18", but not sure what rim width you have.

stock tires are 225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rear

 

18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear also i think.

 

You could try spacers with OEM sizes until you can buy rims. It will make it look a lot more aggressive.

Could wind up costing a bit more cause you'd have to get the lugs changed for longer ones to use with the spacers and would likely change back once you buy wheels with a more aggressive offset...

I know, not much help, but definitely an option to consider...

 

245/40/18 front
275/40/18 rear

 

Stock 06 & 07 rims:

F 18" X 8.0" / R 18" X 8.5"
F 225/45/18 / R 245/45/18


Queston, would it be ok to run 225 tires on the front and change the rears to 275?

 

That looks to be OK, thanks for the picture.

 

275/40 will be ok with oem 06 stock rear rims...i did use measuring tape to double check the width(tire/rim) before mounting. It all depends on the tire manufacturer. Some tires come wider than others and vise versa.

 

If I wanted wider tires I would get wider wheels.

EDIT: But that's just me.

 

yup...i'm currently running 225/45/18 front at the moment. Those 275s look much more aggressive than stock size looking from behind.

 

But that's just you davidv.

 

Not just you , its the proper thing to do.

 

please search...

 

Since that question is answered,
Im guessing its totally fine to put an 18x8 in a 245 tire also???

 

^ yes and T1-R side wall is too soft like cream...

 

are those gunmetal? look nice, any more pics?
