I have the 18" rims. Some opinions about put bigger size tires like 255\70 18. Do they fit? Do they affect the speedometer and the real speed?
Some opinions please. |

I already put it the 255/55. There is some room still. Definitively can handle bigger but not a 32 inches tire.
Just in case guys. I bought some cheap tires (100 piece) that they're working pretty good. I read a lot of reviews from these tires and I got the "risk" I think they worth it. They are nexen. Actually they have good "grip", less noise that the continentals (210 piece). Hopely they will least too. |
