Pic Request: 235/40 on 18x10

Everything I've found so far is of 19s. Anyone got a pic of an 18x10 with a 235/40 on it. A dunlop fm901 pic would be perfect, since that's what I think I'm gonna run. 

Thanks guys!

I can only show you an 18x10.5 with a 245/40 if that'll do. I run RT615 Falkens on them. Let me know and I'll post a pic.

i have 235/40 on 10j 18, its fk451 tho, ill get a pic later

i second that request!! 235/40/18 on 18x10

Im running that size in the rear of my Q.
Falken Ziex ZE512

jstyle.....that looks awesome man.

what year is your Q? and please show full photos......I've searched :o

I agree that looks great. Anyone got pics of 235/35 on the same size wheel? 

that is a beautiful stretch!

Thanks Gato,
Its a '94.
Here's one ...Im in the process of taking some more pics.

You know with a kit your car is at the perfect hieght.

Love it. :)

Thank JStyle! chmercer, that'd be great if you could get a pic of that. That tire was actually my second choice (1st being the ST-115), but I can't find either of them in stock anywhere anymore. The 452 replaced them both, and they're freaking expensive. I loved the ST-115s, dunno WTH they got rid of them. I think I'm gonna run a 225/40 on the 9 and a 235/40 on the 10, mainly so I don't have to pull the rears as much. I wanna keep the pull to a minimum. Keep the pics coming guys!

Come on guys... Anyone else? I think I've pretty much decided to go with a 225/40 on the 9 and a 235/40 on the 10. I guess a 215 on the 9 would match better (as far as the degree of stretch f/r), but I'm scared of understeer. This isn't a show car, it gets driven hard. I liked the way my old setup handled (225/40 on a 18x8.5 and a 245/40 on a 18x9.5). I'd still like to see a few more pics of a 235/40 on a 10 though. 

Also, I'm curious about what you guys think about the new Dunlop DZ101. Anyone ever stretched one of those? They're only $50 more (total, not per tire) and their treadwear is 300 (FM901's are 200). Do they stretch well? I've read a lot of good reviews of the FM's as far as stretching goes, but I'd like to get something with better treadwear if possible. 

Thanks guys!

Awesome. Thanks a lot. I think I'm gonna do it, I just have to figure out whether I wanna get the FM's or the DZ's...

It is awesome... his car is the shit... 

wow, jstyle, your car is nuts! not to mention the Euroline SL's are some of my FAVORITE WHEELS EVER!!! there isnt much in this world i wouldnt do for a good set of those :D

Thanks alot for the comments guys ::)
Its taken a while and im still far from finished.
Big thanks to Rob {-.-}  for all his help.  :coolsmiley:


 Now lets get back on topic and post some more pics of 235/40/18s :police:

yes more pics but Also....
how about the distance from the ground to the edge of the lip????? anyone?
sorry for the trivia but my frontare are 7cm off the ground (18x9.5 w/225-40-18) and i just want the rears to be about the same but not less.
btw-yes different rim and different tire combos make different results

this is great.........man, its making me think running a 245 out back on the 10 isn't gonna be much of a stretch :idiot2:


Jstyle, thats sick man. a kit is gonna kill em ;)

It'll still be a stretch, just not as much. 225/245 on a 9/10 combo is popular. I have a few friends running those sizes. I would run a 245, but I'm trying to keep the pulling to a minimum...

curious, does anyone have 245/35 on a 10? i was thinking about getting a pair of thoes next time. curious to see if the shortened sidewall makes up for the reduced stretch.

Probably. I had a 245/40 on a 9.5 and a friend of mine had a 255/35 on a 9.5 and his looked more stretched than mine (because of the shorter sidewall).

235/40 on 18x10s on the back of the red 240SX here, and on the back of the Q45 also:

I still think back and wonder how I got that particular setup on the 240SX to appear so wide... as when I had it on the Q it just looked so much larger (in diam and width) than it really was. 
blah too lazy to do a screen cap now.. but if you check out [url]http://www.onetongarage.com/van/q45.avi[/url] at 26-29secs and 42-44secs , you can see how extraordinarily large/wide that 235/40-18 on 18x10 looked.

WOW..... :o You're car looks completely different rolling than it does in pics.... just wow... too bad viplife's car got bastardized, sooo much potential. 

Hahahaha, I need to call Leroy and tell him he needs filming tips! Car looks nice rolling. Do you still have it?

leroy couldn't put more footage of his car in the vid cuz when I held the dv cam my parkinson's made it look like the blair witch project. Still got my Q...but it's been on stands for over a year, and kinda miss driving it. Waiting on some wheels to come in, and then it'll be back to guzzling expensive gas again...

i <3 q45

I like how fat that looks, would 235/40/19 give the same effect or would it be "too" big looking? Anyone have pics of that? I still havent gotten my tires yet

It ultimately depends on the specific tire... but same tire for same tire, the higher profile one will not look as wide or "big"

So I got em on. Ended up going with a 235/40 Dunlop Direzza DZ101 on the 18x10. Here's a link to a few pics of the car. Didn't get a close up of the stretch yet. For reference, these tires seem to run a little wide. I actually still have a little bit of rim protector showing on the fronts...
