Default Can someone double check the tire size for me?

and was wondering if I understand the fitment guide correctly. I purchased the Gram Light 57 Pros and now need some tires.

The rim size for the front is: 18x7.5 with a +50 offset. So the tire size would be some where along 215/??/18 right?

The rim size for the rear is: 18x8.0 with a +50 offset. So the tire size would be could be either 245 or 255/??/18 correct?

I use the S2K as a daily driver and drive it pretty hard on occasion.The weather around here is usually dry but when it rains it rains pretty good so a tire with good traction in the rain would be a plus. Any help with tire size and type would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

215/40/18

255/35/18.


even get away with 225/40.18 /// 255/35.18


that will be fine no matter the drop/etc.

225's would be a better bet front..

So... for the front: 225/40/18
and for the rear: 255/35/18

If I'm reading this right, is the above correct?

I have those same wheel specs on my Volk GT-U and have 225 and 245 tires. I rubbed the fronts at stock height this weekend at the Dragon. Personally I'd stay with 215 and 245.
