225/40/18 on 4cyl?

[DarkFlareon]

Is this size ok for the Gen4 4cyl? I went to tires.com and they recommend that for the 4cyls it should be 215/40/18. *.1% too slow on the speedo* Also on the tire calc, it said that with 225 it would be 1.4% too slow and that if I was driving 60 it would actually be reading 60.8 --> Is it ok to run this size (225) on the 4cyl? I believe that the V6s have larger wheels than 4cyl...

Be very careful with your offset, my 205/60/15s (on stock steelies) rubbed in the back of my Camry, which meant I had to get a pair of H&R spacers.

In addition, be very careful about wheel weight, as heavy wheels only increase the effort it'll take to get the Camry moving...

I have 225 45 17's I think on my Altima and they wont even fit on the rear of my Camry..... They touch the struts in teh rear but on the front they fit just right...

hey UfoZ8myCow do you have a 4cyl or V6?

18's on a 4cyl will make you slow as heck... and Ufoz has a 4cyl.

What do you mean by "take em down to 35"...

I'm running 235/40/18's and they rub in the back. Does anybody know why? Do I need to get a different size tire? I don't really understand the "spacer" concept. When I go in a dip, the back tires rub.
