tire fitment? tire stretch?
ok heres my situation. I want to get 18 x 8.5 all around. Yes i know these are not optimal sizes but this is one of my options and i want to plan it out first.
on a 18 x 8.5 wheel the suggested tire width would be 245. My question is, is it alright to run 225? How badly stretched is this?
The reason im putting 225 there is because i had purchased tires in 225-45-18 and they are VERY new. I would like to run it out before purchasing new tires.
So the set up would be: 18 x 8.5 all around with 225/45 front and 245/45 rear.
Now i KNOW that this is not the desirable look with the Z but right now i just want to know if these sizes will work, and if the fronts will be noticeable stretched or not. Thanks alot guys

Kspec, yeah i saw that the maximum wheel size for 225 was 8.5 but that was the borderline size and i wanted to get any insight from the members here
I have Falken FK452 tires. Do these run larger or anything that might affect the sizing?
