My father's car on "stock suspension" currently has 4 MOMO 18x8.5 38mm wheels with 245/45/18 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 tires. All four of his fenders were rolled when I completely repainted his car. He loves these wheels and I wanted to get him the widest front and rear tire that I could possibly fit. With this offset do you guys feel that a 255/40/18 and 275/40/18 tires would work or should I go with the 245/40/18 and the 275/40/18 rear. Or better yet keep the two front 245/45/18 tires and just get him a rear set of 275/40/18's. I promise I have searched several times and have read numerous threads but I am unsure what width tire will optimally fit with his current 18x8.5 38mm offset MOMO wheels.

275 won't work on a 8.5" wheel.

Agreed. 275 seems pretty fat on an 8.5" wheel.

Why do you need to put the fattest tire possible on these wheels? Why not just get the recommended sizes for proper fit?

Try a 265 in the rear. Thats what I'm running and my rear wheels are 8.5 wide.

Are you guys saying to run a 265/40/18 or a 265/35/18. My concern was how tall his current front tires are at 245/45/18. Thanks you guys for responding.
