Maximum tire size for 18" wheels

[psychon]

Greetings!

I was wondering if any of you, who have upgraded their wheels, can confirm whether its "possible" to fit a 225 / 50 / 18 tire to 18" wheels (42 offset) for the Carens?

When i computed the overall diameter of this setup versus the U.S. version EX OEM 225/50/r17 seup, the difference was 1 inch only... I know it will slightly alter my speedometer reading, pero willing ako pilitin basta magkasya sya na walang sabit.

The reason being i have old 18's from my previous SUV that i want to re-use, and i don't really want to use 45 series tires if possible...

Thanks in advance for anyone with advice!

Sir hindi magkakasya yan gusto mong gawin. I've already tried putting it on my carens but all I get was 245/40/18. Yung 1 inch diff na yun e sasayad sa splash guard natin pag lumiliko tayo and may konting sayad sa mga rubber na nakaextend sa shocks natin

Thanks sa reply sir, umasa lang ako magkasya yung 225/50/r18 kasi yung KIA Rondo SX (Concept) www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13181/Kia_Rondo%20SX/default.aspx 235/40/r18 and wheel & tire size tapos lowered pa daw ng 3 inches!

Anyway, baka mag 235/45/r18 nalang ako, kung kasya yun... Does anyone know? If not, i may have to just sell my wheels and get a 17 inch set.
