I think thats a little too skinny. I'm looking to buy 18's soon too. Does anybody know if 225/40's are too wide for Neuspeed Sport Springs (1.5R 1.75F)? I think maybe rjowsock has had some 205/40/19's or something, if I'm not mistaking.

i think 225's are way too wide.. 215's should be enough... but thats jus my opinion

215/35/18 will give a skinny tire just like 205/40/18 except a 205/40/18 will replace stock tire radius...i just want to see if anyone has them cause i am betting they look really nice

I don't think they make 205/40/18

go w/ 215/40 series if u're getting 18's and want some sidewalls

yes they do make 205/40/18 but most 18" rims on the market have an 7.5"-8" width which 205 wouldnt be a good choice to mount them with. if you live in area where roads are rough, goodluck on survivng with 18s and 205 tire.


205/40/18 would easily kill wheel gap, but you can most likely see the rim popping out asking for more rubber and sidewall

they do make 205 18's but not all companies do. And why wouldnt 18's be a good choice to mount on these tires? wat actually happens that makes it that bad?

I am trying to figure that out for myself, that's y i started this thread. I am hoping someone already has them so that I can get an idea to wether that tire with an 18" rim will work.

if any one has them, post a pic

^it depends on how wide the rims are. by mounting on a 205/40/18 sized tire on a 8" wide rim, its bound to damage your rim(s) as you drive over rough road conditions as the sidewall isnt "thick" enough or too much rim is showing as its popping out (stated above). im not saying its impossible, its just uncessary to go with a 205mm width tire for such wide rim.

and not all 18 rims are 8" wide. im pretty sure you can find some that have a 7.5" or even 7" width and it'd be fine.


heres a civic with 205/40/18 member claims to have that size but idk... http://www.cardomain.com/id/jerome212005

Thanks for posting the pics, I am liking the look of tire on the wheels. On the last picture the wheel and tire is showing pretty clearly and doesn't look that bad. There seems to be enough rubber on the wheel. It's not like am going to deliberatly head into potholes. Thanks again for posting those links.

If anyone else has pics, please post...........thanks in advance.

who makes the cheapest 205 40 18 tire?

Since it is not a real common size, you won't have a big selection. Tire Rack only lists Michelin Pilot Sports and Dunlops, no Kumho or any of the less expensive stuff. 21540R18 doesn't have a lot either, I went with BFG GForce KDW. 2153518's are way more readily available in several manufacturer lines.
