I have the factory MCA wheels 18x8 I believe. I am currently running 235/50/18 and wondering how wide I am able to go with this rim.
Has anyone ran a 255/45 or 255/50 on this rim? I think a 50 gives me the right amount of sidewall.

I run a 255/45 on my 8 inch wide 18 inch wheel. I went with 45 on the height because i didn't want to mess up my 3.73 gear.

I went 20 mm wider on my tires without going down on my tire height on a 300Z i once had. One of the biggest mistakes i've ever done. Killed what little pick-up the thing had. It was just like adding a higher rear gear ratio
