Same size tire on style 189

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can put same size tires on the staggered setup style 189s. I don't go on the track so superb handling of the car is not much of what I need. Can you guys tell me what size tires I can run on it without trouble and the speedo staying relatively same to stock? Thanks so much, I am completely noob to wheels and tires.

Yes, you can. 225/40/18 will fit all around.

+1. The rears are only a half inch wider in the back. I use this for my winter setup.

thanks guys! I read in the past threads and one said 245s on four corners would work too. So what does the difference of 225 and 245 make? Also is it possible for me to rotate tires?

Yes, you can do 225, 235 or 245. Don't think you can rotate since the rear wheels are wider than the front.

if you go with 225/235/245 all around you can rotate them if you wanted to. If it is staggered you cannot.
