215/45 on 18x8.5?

[jri4]

Will 215/45 tires work on a 18x8.5 wheel? I have a lot of tire tread left and don't want to waste it or take the hit on reselling them.

 

[_MSprotegy]

yes they will but they will be pretty stretched.

 

[strytnyne]

lol they will but curbs will not be friendly

Yeah, they'll be stretched, and the rims might look funny, but they would probably work. Can't be certain tho...

Thanks! I just don't want to have to buy a new set of beefier tires when the ones I have only have 8,000 miles on them. I personally don't think it will look good, or be safe at all. I think I will spend my money elsewhere until this set of tires wear out. When the time comes to make a decision I will. Thanks for the information!

Are stock rims for the MS3 18x8 or 18x7?

They are 18x7.5 I believe.

 

[jri4]

Yeah so stretching an inch or more is pretty bad. Okay, thanks!

And you are highly likely to end up scratching/denting the outside edges of your nice new rims on curbs or other objects you get close to.

it should be fine. my buddy is running 205/40/17 on a 8.5" rim..

18 x 7 actually. The 2010 stockers are 18 x 7.5.

hey wont be outragously stretched. Depending on the brand of tire. Im running a 225 on an 8.5" and its barely stretched. Its all going to depend on how stiff the sidewall is really. I say go for it though

Thank you for the correction!
