Thread: 235/40/18 fit onto a stock 6 mps rim?

  1. #1

    Default 235/40/18 fit onto a stock 6 mps rim?

    mrs got me a set of achillies 235/40/18 hoping they will fit on the 6 stock rim?

    I think Rayd has this setup now. However I thought stock MPS wheels were 17"... 235/40/18 is what I ran / run on my GEN2 / RX8 wheels. If you have 235/40/18 it is just an excuse to update the rims on the car

    Ok. Thinking back Rayd might have been talking about his new wheels

    Mmm, not very well...
    235 should be on a 7.5 or 8" wide wheel, not 7" that the stockers are

    Mine are the 7.5" on the front and 8.5" on the rear both have 235 on them, the 235 fit perfect on the 7.5" the side wall is pretty much a perfect 90 degrees, i wouldn't run them on the stock 7" wheels maybe do 225/40/18 on the stock 7" rim. FWIW the 8.5" look almost stretched with 235's on them.

    Lowest you can go on the stock 6 is 225/45/18 as recommended by 99% of tyre companies .
    in for a world of hurt if you exceed the tyre manufacture recommendations
