What size tires on a 18x9 rim?

I just bought raderwerks mten80 rims. 18x9. And I was wonder what would be the best size tire for them on stock suspention.

255 works well with 9, but if that is too much to stuff under the car...depends on rims offset, a 245 will work. 235s will start to look stretched.

What car is it going on? And what is the stock wheel size. Need to know to recomomend a profile...likely a 40 series.

Really depends on the car.

I have a b5 s4. Stock suspention and the offset is 35.

225x40 on 30et 18x8.5 work well.

so 18x9 35et and 235x40 should be great.

Personally, I would go 235/40. Might stretch just slightly but nothing really noticeable and will look nice

you better post up pics! those are my next wheels

[S4whity]

wont 235 be stretched alot, would that be safe for daily driving or should i just go with 245.

[S4whity]

235 or 245? Witch one would be better it can streach a little but I don't want it to be overkill. Because it's a daily driver.

[JEmm]

235 will be fine. I'm pretty sure you'll have to roll your front fenders regardless though.

This is a 225/40 on an 18x9 wheel -----> http://www.tyrestretch.com/9_225_40_R18/

So it'll obviously have less stretch than that, and that doesn't have very much.

Depends on the look you want. I've ran 255/35/18 on some 18x9s on my old b5 s4 if you want the motorsports/functional look. 225/40 or 235/40 is the standard fitment for B5 S4 18s.

I'd use these.

[Doc@tirerack]

245/35-18 is best, but might need a fenderlip roll depending on the wheel.. We don't have anything wider than an 18x8.5 that we guarantee to work, so the 9" may have its own issues.

those rims on the rederwerks site look like they come staggered 18x8 f and 18x9 r both et35, and 100/112.

Are yours both 18x9? 245s work nice on a 9" rim, but they are gonna rub....buy the 235s

these are 8.5 wide same et35, and 235s......so you'd fit like these, but your rims aew 12.5mm wider. or 6.2mm more each side of centre. Luckily with the same et and same tire, it will fit nearly the same, only slightly stretch the tire....but the rim won't rub.

yea im gonna but 18x9s on front and back and i just bought 235/40/18 tires
thanks everyone for your input.

That is the tire size I was planning on running if I got 18x9 wheels.
