From my experience Falkens run wider than Continentals

.

it looks like from your picture you have a w124 mercedes. what model ie: 6cyl,v8,diesel?what springs are you lowered on?
im pretty much in the same boat as you are trying to figure out what tires to fit. my wheels are off a 03 e500 so 18x8 et30 front and 18x9 et39 in back.
would you mind measuring from the center of the hubcap to the bottom of the fender? im at 12.5 in the front.


thanks

Guys, did happen to try a 215/40/18 Continental on the 8J....not the same stretch as it seems a Falken;(

thats because 512's run freakishly small compared to any other tire out there. All tires are not created equal, even if they're the same size. If you saw a 512 of a certain size look stretched and you're going with a different tire, you need at least one size down in width for it to look even close.

a 225/40 on an 8 is not stretch. That is the recommended tire size for the fuzion in 225/40
