I already have my rear guards rolled.I just wanted to make sure I got my calculations right and the wheels will fit. Cheers, Pissant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 3m 30d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 13/08/11 09:41 PM Share Posted 13/08/11 09:41 PM Why fit wider rims and have such skinny Tyres? 225 on the 8.5 in rim is too skinny...Ford fits 245 on an 8 inch wide rim... Do you want the stretched look?Also 225/40/18's are probably not load rated so would be illegal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
