    Just bought a set of rota grids 18x9.5 all around and looking for the right tire size. I no nothing about tires thats why I am asking everyone here. I want some tire but nothing to beefy. I was thinking 215/40/18 but i dont know if that is to skinny.. if anyone can help that would be awesome.

    Thanks Ron

    What kind of look are you going for?
    Heavy stretch -

    205/40


    215/35


    or for a little more side wall 205/45 to be safer

    Light stretch -

    215/40 /45




    Mild
    225/40 or /45


    Flush

    235/40 or /45
