Getting the right tire size
How do I get the right tire size to stay as close to stock for the total diameter of the wheel (rim + tire)...
For 18x7.5 and 18x8.5
I calculated 215/35/18 and 245/30/18 which is roughly a half inch taller in diameter... however I am having a hard time finding someone who sells the 245/30/18 tire size... is it because the sidewall is too thin?
Do the rest of you guys just buy tires w/ higher sidewalls? How does that effect our speedometer?
