Mandrus wheels - correct tuyre size

[Greg1980]

Hi,

I have these Mandrus wheels on my car and decided to keep them for now. Just curios what would be the correct tyre size for these wheels? They are 18s. I quite like them.

Need to know the wheel width to recommend a tire size. And, search the forum... this has been discussed many times in the past.

See Dave's advice.

They look like 8 inch and 9 inch staggard. Tire size for those widths would be 225/45/18 and 255/40/18 or 245/40/18 and 275/35/18.

Those sizes have proper outside diameters that are within about 2 percent of each other which is necessary for the ASR and cruise control systems to function.

It is a number of tire size calculators available on the internet which is handy to use, this one is pretty good IMO and not jammed with advertising:
Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

As mentioned it's important to keep the rolling diameter/circumference difference between front and rear within the acceptable limits. And the max/min rolling dia should be within +/- 5% from the stock 225/55-16 tires.

275/35/18 and 245/40/18 would be the proper size for those wheels and offer the best tire brand selection.
