Default 18x9 +40 all around fitment

I'm looking to put 18x9 40et all around, my s is on coilovers with barely one finger gap all around. I'm okay with running some camber to make fit.

Should I run a staggered tire size or the same size all around? I was thinking 225/40/18 and 245/35/18, or would the 225 be too wide for the front? My fenders are all rolled already.

I would say to be safe a 245/35R18 would be the best. You are going to need more negative camber to make that size and offset work. If I can help with the tires let me know.

I'm tuning the same size wheels and similar offset and running w
225/40/18's all around and handles great. You can fit a 245/40 with no problem, as long as you have a slight fender roll

You mean 245/35/18 right, not 245/40/18, I'd think 245/40/18 might be too tall

I agree that the 245/40R18 would be too tall.

So you think running staggered tires on non-staggered wheels is alright? Is that what most people do with non-staggered wheels?
