I was searching for a set of 205/40 R 18 for 7Jx18EH2 rims. I searched Tire Rack and some other websites, but unable to find the size. ???

 

215 is the narrowest 18 any of my manufactures produce

davecsumini - you must be referring to the Pirelli Euforia's that are used on the JCW 18" wheels, which are a 205/40-18 run-flat. As Alex implied, Tire Rack doesn't stock those tires. Also, they are the only tire in that size I've ever heard of. Go for a 215/35-18 instead.

Good Luck,
Ryan

 

Thank you for replying, Alex & Ryan!

I'm referring to the JCW wheels. Is there any negative effect of mounting 215 on 7Jx18EH2 rims? :smile:

 

Toyo Proxes 4 and Nitto Neo Gen both come in size 205/40-18.

Thanks! I'll look into it. Any recommendation where I can get them? :smile:

I purchased the Toyo's thru my local Discount Tire store. The store did not have the tires in stock but told me that they could get either brand tire in that size and I choose the Toyo's.

wider is better , right?

Wider is better but 225s are difficult to fit without rubbing. There have been a few who've gone the 225 route but only in 15" with stock height. I would bet on a random combination of wheel and 225 tire rubbing somewhere. The last set-up I heard of was 15x7 SSRs with225/45 Hoosiers. Not your typical street config.

I stand corrected - thanks for the input!


Doc D-n-B; you can stuff a 225/35-18 under the arches if you're using the right wheel offset and tire sidewall profile, however I'd still expect some rubbing. There just isn't that much room under the arches to cram huge tires and have it work.

 

I found Nitto 105/40ZR18 for $132 installed at America's tire, which is the same company as Discount tires. Now I just have to wait for the JCW wheels on order. They're coming in 3-4 weeks.
