Hope this helps
Sorry I don't know personaly,
but CrazyPilot says: On an 18x7.5 wheel I would go at least 225 width. 7.5 is the stock wheel width, and most SVXii run 225/50/16 on those. I have 205 width snow tires on my stock wheels, and they look noticably too narrow for the wheel. I don't care for snow though, because I want a narrow tire for winter. My suggestions: 1. 225/40/18 2. 235/40/18 3. 235/35/18 4. 245/35/18 In my opinion 1 and 2 are the best size for a 7.5" rim. 3 and 4 are best suited to an 8" wide rim. #1 keeps the closest match to the stock diameter, but all are well within the 3% difference considered the limit. 245 is a wide as I would go. If you look at tire fitment charts (I'm a licensed tire technician, so this is stuff I do every day), you'll see that 255 is best suited to rims 8.5-10" wide. I can make tires far out of the fitment range work, but it's not a great idea. Maybe 235 0r 245 for your wider rims? Good luck, Keith Last edited by kwren; 02-24-2008 at 01:33 AM. |

Tires is tires, but that offset of 35 is a long way from home!

The Murano rims i have on are a 35mm offset and are only 7.5" ride. These rub every so often when I hit an extremely bad dip or bump. The car will most likely will rub in the rear if you are using 8.5".
