Why buy a performance car and ruin the performance by stretching tyres?

Thanks for the reply, what it actually is, I won some xxr 530 wheels, they are 8.75j et33 18" the tyres ive been told I need is 225/40 I was just wanting to see how it looks.
Im running 235 on a 9j and really should have fitted a 245 but they didn't make them in the size I needed. |

On an 8.75j rim you are looking at 235 minimum to be any good if you actually drive it properly.

I got the impression that a bigger tyre may rub? I have a bugeye wrx
Let alone the fact every time you hit a pot hole you will probably end up damaging it. To put it in perspective a 225 would normally be fitted to a 7 or 7.5j rim. I wouldn't do it personally but it's your choice |
Ah I see, cheers for the input 😊

Check out my car, XXR527 with 8.75" wide wheels, 225/40/18 tyres, and surprisingly, contrary to some comments, handles, takes bumps and potholes and drives just fine. Isn't stretched that much really. |

Had no issues... Needed to roll arches at the rear but as said it doesn't feel nice at all compared to a wheel with the correct tyre size ;)
