Will 235-55-18 fit on our Speed3

[lewisb01]

I'm trying to get some winter tires and I found some 235-55-18 Blizzax tires in good condition on craigslist. I was wondering if they would rub I assuming they will with 215-45-18 being the stocker size. let me know thanks in advance

Why on earth would you want to use such a thick tire?

I highly doubt that would fit, even on stock springs.

Your speedo will be completely off... Actually traveling 60mph, your speedo will be reading about 54mph.

Factory tire height is about 25 1/2"... with those monster truck tires they're going to be about 28 1/4".

Check out 1010tires.com ... They have a very useful tire size calculator in their tech section.

Great tool for checking wheel/tire dimensions

You definitely don't want to run a wider, taller tire for winter. It's the other way, go skinnier.

On my TBSS, it had 255/55/20's, and each tire wanted to go it's own seperate path in the snow. I was fighting it constantly in heavy snow.

I don't see how a tire over two inches larger will fit. Might work if you reduce the offset. You may not like the way it rides/handles, though.

Your car will look like a monster truck with those big ass tires and rub like crazy.

Ya man, you want something like a 205/50R18 if your gonna use your stock wheels.
