You don’t want to just drop your 18s to a smaller aspect ratio using the same width tires.

For ex. If you drop to 225/40/18, your tires will be 1.8” shorter.
If you go to 245/45/18, it will only be .2” shorter but is a good size. You won’t get a low profile look though.



Hey, pretty much appearance, I thought that performance tires by the theory are built in a low profile(aka some like 225/40/R18).

So, do you think if I do something like that, without going to higher than R18 is going to look weird?


Like, I like the look of my stock 225/50/R18 wheels, but I wish that it would be a little bit lower like from 50 to 40.


I believe that changing to a higher RADIAL is too much change and expensive, right.?!
