18 by what? How wide is the rim?

exactly what i needed help with. the seller is retareded ricer with a honda so he dont know. thats why i hoping i could get help with the measurements of the tires

The best way to know for sure if they will fit without knowing all the info on the rims would be take one off and see if it fits on your car.

Just slip the jack under the car and take one off. It should say exactly what size rim it is and also there should be a marking of the offset.
255 width is pretty wide to try and fit under our cars. If you don't want to just turn right back around and try to sell them a test fit is in order. If you do test fit them find out the brand, style, offset and rim size. Along with the outcome. Helpful info for the next dsmer.

I agree. Without having any specs test fit is the only easy way.

Also make sure you test fit on the front. Some people might laugh, but I know plenty of people who test fit on the rear and they may clear the rear calipers, but they don't clear the front calipers.

The tire seems square on the rim. Its more than likely an 18x8.5. I wouldnt buy it thought before finding the offset.

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Tire width and rim offset is what's gonna kill you. 18 inch rim 40 thickness is okay

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

I have 18x8.5 245 40 18 and they are very close to rubbing. You are going to have a hard time with that tire size. Esp if its a bad offset

 

[my dreamt dsm]

That was on a honda... now i can picture a totally killed car. i ran 205/50/15 with 35et and it was close to rub already... if that was on a s2000 it should be okay since it's a 5 lug pattern. im guessing it must of been on an accord

 

[dsm96rs]

yeah it was on his 92 accord. thanks every one. and i will pass on this guys offer. i like the style and all but i am not going to deal with rubbing and having to take turns slow because i will rub. forget that haha so thanks for quick replies and i WONT be buying these from mr. honda ha

 

[DSM_IKE]

Is it that exact rim in the picture above of the wheels that you are looking to buy? Your not looking to use those rims on the 2g right? Only reason im asking is cause those look like 4 lug..

 

[dsm96rs]

They are the universal rims with crapload of dimensions available ha they work 5 lug
