8J x 18" tyre selection

[charan_singh]

...guys,

Can anyone recommend a tyre make that has sidewalls / shoulders that have more natural curvature, i,e. more capacity to stretch etc?

I want to run 225/40/18 on an 8J wheel but need to wall to be as slanted as possible. Currently running 215/35/18 Nankang Ns2 which stretch great but just dont offer the wheel enough protection!

Ideas welcome!

Your question is kind of confusing. You want stretch on an 8" with a 225? There will be no stretch; they will be square.

Don't you have a thread like this already? Falken 512s.

Sorry guys - details were incorrect. looking for a 40 profile tyre for an 18X8J wheel. 225's are confirmed to be too chunky for the fender. Have considered (through another thread) both 205's or 215's...have also been recommended Falken's in both mentioned sizes!

Sorry for the confusion.
