After searching for a while in these forums I realized no one has actually come to a conclusion. My guess, because no one has enough experience yet. I realize the evo rims and tires wont fit at 245/4018. I know that 225/40-45r18 will fit cause it's not much wider. So what is the verdict on the 235/4018? Has anyone had any experience or tried them? Say an 8 inch rim on a 235/4018? I would love to fit some 235s but I don't want to make any modifications. Thanks for the help ahead of time.

Here in Australia on the standard VRX (GTS) 18" X 7" wide rims the widest tyre they are allowed to fit by law is a 225mm. (Standard is 215mm)

Anything wider requires wider rims and here we are legally restricted to the max width of the rim over and above the OEM size by 1"(25mm) if I remember the relevant legislation correctly from a few months ago.

the rim offset has more to do with a wider tire fitting than the width of the tire.. i have 235/40-18 18x8+35 and i slightly rub in the rear..
"right now im running 245/40r18 +45 and i rubbed in the rear."

id think 245 or 255 with prolly a +46 +48 offset would be the widest
