ok i got a 87 delta 88 FWD:

i was looking at rims and tires for it to get rid of the crappy steel rims and i came across a set of 225-40zr18 tire with. The place obv tells me what I want to hear and says they wont rub. But Im wondering if any of you would know?

btw setup right now is 205-75R14

Someone help?

 

Are the rims you are wanting designed for FWD?
I would imagine they would probably rub a bit, but this is coming from someone who is in Michigan....on Michigan roads

 

I would really dont know what there designed for. There jsut at a local rim and tire shop so who knows really. I jsut didnt know if there would be enough room to fit the 20 extra mm of tire width. But of coarse the shop is no help they jsut wanna make a sale.

 

Hard for anyone to know if you don't provide the wheel width and offset or backspacing. In any case, if the seller claims that they fit, get them to guarantee to refund your money if they don't. That will stop the BS pretty quickly.

By the way, those new tires are about 3/4" wider than the originals but about an inch SMALLER in outside diameter. If the wheel offset keeps the tire centered in the wheel well, you should have no problems. On the other hand, I personally don't care for the extra daylight between the wheel well opening and the smaller tire. Your car, your call.

 

If the shop isnt going to be any help, then I think that should be enough to find another,more helpful shop that will guarantee thier work/product.

 

Thanks guys!
im gonna be calling them tomrrow to find out.
thanks for all ur help!
