18x7.5 Rims

[mick0082]

If your going to slam it then yeah, go for the 215/40/18. From memory though that is even rarer than the 225/35/18's

Plus you have to meet a load rating so your tyre search could be drawn out and costly.

Like I said, i'm on 225/35/18. Full locking is rare for me and only done at slow speeds if at all. I don't like to stress the steering rack by going to the extremes so rubbing isn't too much of a problem.

I'm looking for a new set of 225/35/18 at the moment and there's nothing decent under the $220-$250 mark.

Got em on Saturday..

18x7.5, +40 offset. with 215/40/18 within load rating.. rubbers... no scrubbering

Still needs to be lowered but they add alot i reckon..

so let me getthis right, 215/35/18 is not within load rating for the rolla?

[Lucky_Luke]

not sure corzza, I'm by no means a tyre expert...youd have to find someone with one of those little books with all the load ratings...

alternatively could just give your local tyrepower a call?

Or if you know the weight of the corolla check this bridgestone website page.. you might be able to suss it out..

[Lucky_Luke]

Lucky i didnt buy those rims CORZZA ..

they were the other wheels i was going to get... nice nice!!

youre on king lows yeah? do you know your offset?

L.

[CORZZA]

They were cheap so i had to get them!

I had others in mind but they were more pricey!

Not sure of the offset. 40?

i was told they are lows but some asay they super lows

how much bigger are these rim & typres to the standard 16 and tyre ?? im thinking about the speedo error.....is it even that big ??

thanks

[Lucky_Luke]

my 215 40 18s put my speedo out by about 3% so its very managable.

9mm bigger on the overall diameter compared to the tyres on my 16s previously (620mm vs 629mm i think from memory. )

L.

[magic]

9 mm thats nothing really but 3 % is.... so when u read 100 on your speed your cars really doing 103 ?? or is it 97 ??

does anyone no if u can get 18's with tyres and stay the same as the stock stivo rim / tyres.

thanks

well it doesnt throw my speedo out by much. iv tested it on my GPS.

I drive at 100 and i think it said i was doing 102 on my GPS.

Remember the speedo could also be out from factory

[magic]

yer true.... thats not too much, im just thinking the speed cameras and the police. im a p plater lol

i would then suggest with larger rims drive with your needle just under the limits.

so just under 60 or 80 etc.

cameras dont snap 60 or 80 on the dot.
