"?" on tire fitment, and rubber recomendation, Rims are secret.

[FiReBReTHa]

Hey guys n gals,

I clipped a curb and am down one rim.... so, I figure time to get new rims and rubber.

I am not going to post what the rims are because I figure once I have them mounted I can suprise ya guys with pics

rims are 18.8.5 with an offset of 43

I am AWD and I have decided on 18s tho they are heavier and more costly. But I am confident on my decision.


But, Should I get 225 or 235s?

I figured 2x5's - 40 - 18

Anyone have recomendation as for which rubbers? I live in IL and there might be a bit more snow so no slicks!

Next year I will buy another rim so I have a full set and then mount winter tires on the other set to switch out.


(edit)
Should I run 235 in rear and 225 in front? or keep em equal for rotating tires?

Thanks in advance!

I run 235/45's on my 17's. You will either need 35 or 40 series for the aspect ratio. But I do not have any rubbing issues w/ 235's, But 225's on a AWD really won't make much of a difference to notice, but the price.

You must keep the overall height the same on the tires all the way around so mixing the two sizes would be a bad idea. 225 will fit no problem but 235 may rub if the car is lowered, 8.5 is a little wide also.
