Which tire size would be best for 18 x 7.5 Rims???
If I was to buy an 18 x 7.5 wheel which tire should I get?
a) 215/35/18
b) 215/40/18
c) 225/40/18
I'd like to know your ideas based on your experiences. I want good handling. I'm not gonna drop my car.
Thanks

get a tire thats made for a 7.5 width, some tires are made for 7" width only. im gonna say a definately but maybe b would fit. it depends on how low your drop is to avoid rubbing and camber wear issues.

Rep Power: 301 make sure you get a warranty on tires from discount if you get tires, saves money when you get one free tire. but the 215/35 would be too small depending on your drop. the 215/40 probably the best.

215/35 will actually give you a smaller overall diameter than stock. I'd go with 215/40 because that will only be slightly larger and will keep your speedo most accurate.
