i think mchat said hes runnin 235...not quite sure but hes runnin 35mm or 38mm offset. so depending on your offset i believe u should be fine with 235, but i would deff. ask him. come to think of it, i think hes only runnin 17's. i dunno man....if noone replies on here the pm mchat or psichick

A couple guys here in AZ are running the 235/40/18's. And it depends on the offset.

the rim is a 18x7.5 with a 38 offset. or wandering if 17's are the way to go. i just think 18's will look better and have more grip.

Grip is all about the type of tire. But those running the 18's swear by them

I am running 18x8 BBS with 225/40/18 and they work just fine. but they are right it depends on your offset. So with the right offset 235/40/18s will work just fine.

That's exactly what I need to know, what is the highest we can go on the stock suspension and spacing. I'm looking into 225 or 235/18's. Anyone know if this will work on the stock rim?
