Tires fit to Alloy

[Bisho]

Hi mates,

I want to know if I can increase the width of tires on my existing RIMs? or should I buy new RIMs to fit that new size?

At the moment:
Rear tires size is : 18/35/265, I need to make it 18/35/285
Front tires size is: 18/40/235, I may leave them same or increase it to 245.

Your inputs are highly appreciated.

OEM is 255 rear & 225 front.. it's not advisable to go wider, but 265 & 235 will also work as you've installed.

why do you want the extra width? that's more like M5/M6 widths :dunno:

+1 and bisho if u had the owner manual you ll c the recommended wheel size for 18" which is as haissam said. its better to keep it as recommended (my opinion)

Very interested to hear about ur reason of increasing tire widths bisho...

Woow all are interested!!

Ok guys, to make it more stable as I drive on high ways always + the look of the car from rear will be more beautiful ;)

I feel too much power in my car (manual), that's why such tires will not affect performance that much (IMO).

So now, What's the answer? should I install new RIMs? or use existing ones?

Too much tire on a rim = wobbly handling + bad looking side profile. Unless your car is developing 350hp or more, I don't think you need the headache :)

My humble $0.2 worth...

Your current set up is very good and ideal IMO.
Wider will not be so good.
