I'm currently looking at getting new tyres for my new wheels and see many people running 225's on their 9.5" wheels I was originally going to go for a 235 wide as I'm not after the stretched look , I want tyres that are ok to push the car on I.e fast road blasts etc (I have track wheels to use separately)
So the question is do I keep it simple and dial in a bit of camber 1-1.5 degs and use 235's or are 225's fine on this size wheel to give a bit of a bashing ?

Thoughts/advice please

255 would be the proper size - I run 245 - 40 - 18 on 18x8.5

I wouldn't run 225

I'm running 235s on a 9J rim, I wouldn't go any smaller that's for sure! I wanted 245s but they didn't do that in my tyre choice.

Ive had 225/40/18 on a 9.5 inch wide wheel and dont think I would again, minimum I would go would be 235/40/18

My old hawk with 225/40


Says it all really



My mates JDM with 235/40/18 on the same 9.5inch wide wheel

Wow, the 235 even looks a bit stretched :O

235 on a 9J even has a bit of stretch, really disappointed I couldnt get 245's

Thanks for the input guys , so all the grid drifts running 225's on a 9.5 are proper stretched then , I have been told the ns2r's do come with a wider shoulder than most so a 235 in them is almost a 245 in mod other brands , so I might get one and stick it on to see how that fits ,

I'm running 225/40 ad08r on my grid drifts.





Had no issues driving hard on the 225's but Probably go 235 next tho.

Yeah the track based tyres do defo seem to have a wider shoulder as yours don't look anywhere near as stretched as some of the above mate , I will get a 235 on it and see how it looks , will just have to run a bit of neg camber with a 235 but that won't be an issue for the use the car gets ,

A standard 7.5j wheel takes a 225 width tyre....gonna be stretched yo!!!

Yeah I think a 235 track based tyre will be a good choice with a bit of camber think I'm running -2 on the back an -1.6 up front il try find my set up sheet.

Yeah that would be cool mate , be interested in your settings as I'm sure I would be needing something along them lines
