What ^he^ means is it's too small for our cars. It will fit on those wheels but you'd want a 215/45R18 for a J-Body.. Or at least a 215/40.

you lost me on that part.

a 215/45/18 is gonna be too big for 18s. 225/40/18 would be the other option for the 215/40/18

unless you mean 205/45/18

depends on the tire. every manufacturer should have a recomended rim width that tire be installed on, they will also indicate the max and min rim width that tire be installed on. pick a tire first, then look it up because one manufacturer to the next could say something different even though its the same size.



Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!

The tire is going to seem like rubber bandson the rim. The overall diameter i will be small making the wheel gap look bigger. Plus the thinner the tire the harsher the ride and less protection for your rim.

i have seen people tuck with 225/45/18 you may just have to roll the front fenders. The rear you should be fine.
