225/35/18 and 245/35/18 sounds good if you're looking for a stretch.

[bmwnissan]

can i go any wider because 225 isnt even an upgrade

Wheels that big are useless on that car, unless you're either A) pushing serious boost or B) want to make it a show car.

You can fit anything from 225s to 265s on a 9 inch wheel and probably up to 315s on an 11. You haven't told us the offset of the wheels, your suspension, or the fender work you're willing to do, so I told you some sizes that would work.

[bmwnissan]

no clue of the offset i tried the rear on i ahve pix maybe that can help but i cant uplaod btw they are techart daytonas if that helps

[BimmerDawg]

Not a chance they're going to fit brotha, regardless of the stretch.

[bmwnissan]

hold on here, where did you get your wheel sizes from?
did you mesure or is it stamped on the wheel?
reason i ask is to get your width you measure inside the beads.
im thinking these may be 18x8 and 18x10s.

define "upgrade". what exactly are you trying to do?

They would hurt for A).

what makes you think that "fits"? doesn't even look close. its off by inches.

[bmwnissan]

because if i use a 245 tire if i will let say hit a bump it will tuck i like the euro look where the rim sticks out i just dont want to have rubbing issues so what tires are the widest i can go with

i measured the rears on the iside beads and its 10"

[bmwnissan]

comon someone please help

[IanBMW]

Go to you're local ghetto tire shop, get some crappy used tires in some sizes and try some out. Everyone has gave you their opinion. If you want the euro look, go with the stretch like said above and then tuck with MASSIVE amounts of camber. Good luck man.

[vjlax18]

Not going to fit. 11's in the rear of my car took this:

its more than just the width. you have to worry about the offset as well, and those wheels are sticking out too far.

[bmwnissan]

so im still trying to figure out widest tires and what i would need to run these rims?

[BimmerDawg]

Dude, they're Techarts. Are they even the right bolt pattern?

[bmwnissan]

they bolt right up they used to be on a bmw

[KarlSpackler]

What is the offset?

I run 17x10 et13 which is VERY extreme and I have ALOT of rear fender work done and they still rub over large bumps.
I run 235/40 on my 10's in the rear BTW


I am betting-
You will not make them fit.

You will rub.

[bmwnissan]

how do i check the offset and also i can roll nd pull the fender a bit if needed

[vinax]

i got these rims a couple of days ago i fitted on the rear and it fits good it sticks out a bit but thats fine im goin to streth the tire what tire sizes can i fit?

thanks

18x9 : 245 35 18
18x11 : 315 30 18

[vjlax18]

They will not fit without major body work.

[bmwnissan]

what if i do this
18x9 : 245 35 18
18x11 : 285 30 18

and roll the fender whats the worst that can happen

[vjlax18]

Mods is this person for real or someone's fake name to screw with people?

[bmwnissan]

look i got these rims for a very good price and i love them i want to mount them on the car it doesnt seem that hard

[KarlSpackler]

oK. You seem to be asking a question and you are getting answers but not listening.

Since I have been building wheels for awhile and have learned a little about fitting wheels on a car you are not supposed to, I am a decent authority on this.


Lets put this in perspective.

A stock 95 M3 came with wheels 17x7.5" et 41 in the rear.

Your wheels are 18x11 et 25 (guessing here)

That is about 2" taller than stock, they will stick out 3.5" more on the rim and about 1" on the offset = 4.5" more poke than stock.

How do you not see this being a problem with a wheels that sticks out 4.5" more than stock???? My wheels stick out 3.5" more than stock and with the fender work I have done they still rub over big bumps and they are 17x10's!!!!!!

Good luck with 18x11's.

Again, you have asked a question and gotten an answer. Now shut up.

If you have the $$$$$$, buy the tires and try and make it fit if you dont believe us.

You want stretch?

18x9 : 225 35 18
18x11 : 255 35 18

Man up and do it!
