Hello guys,
Its time for new tires on my 2013 Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost AWD. It has the original 18 inch rim with 235/45 tires. I found a local store offering Yokohama S-Drive 255/45R18 for a very good price, but im not sure if it will fit properly.
The rim specification is 8Jx18 ET55. I have checked the tire specs on Yokohama's website and it says:
RIM WIDTH (MEAS) 8.5
RIM WIDTH (APPR) 8 - 9.5
Also, i used the tool from wheel-size.com website to calculate the deviation from the standard tire:
- Circumference will be increased by 2.7%
- Suspension: tire is 10 mm closer to suspension components. Acceptable for most cars.
- Fenders: Tire will stick out 10 mm farther. Acceptable for most cars
Also, i have searched on this forum to check if the 255 width will cause rubbering, but just found cases with bigger rim diameter/width.
Do you guys think it will work properly?
Thanks.
