235/40/18 tires fit on a 7.5" rim?

[Eagle 5]

i am getting 18x7.5"x rims. i was plaaning to get 235/30/18 tires for them. Will the tires fit with out any problems? i knwo 225/40/18 tires fit fine and have pretty straight sidewalls. so to me it seem like goign with 235/40 18 would be fine since the tire would be wider but the sidewall would also be taller to. anyone help em here?

if my rim offset is greater than 41 than i will only get 225/40 but if the wheel ofest is liek 41 or 40, i may get 235/40's i have had a few places tell me 235/40's will fit. i just want to know if i will have any problems.

what about 245? wheel max sells them as a package option for 7.5 inch rims i belive

yep... 18x7.5 $1499 (245/40/18)

NO, thats is too wide for a 7.5" rim. I would say get an 8.5" rim for 245's, 8" at the LEAST.

i just got these 18'' x 7.5 enkei rims for $200 already had 235/40/18 tires have to get replaced i just put them on my car and looks good but not to sure if is rubbing maybe i little bit but not to bad, you think it will be better to get 225/40/18 or stick with 235/40/18 i do like more with 235/40/18 but what you guys think?
