18x8 AT Italia Flash Sport Bright Satin Sil Paint
225/40WR18 Pirelli P7000 SUPERSPORT

For 2002 C230K

 

depends on offset, but most likely, Yes.

 

That should work depending on the offset. The speedometer won't be off.

Spec for that tire.

 

dont get 225.....they look ok on 17..but on 18? nonono....245 will be my pick..

and why P7000 SS? i dont hear great reviews about them...it was sooooooo noisy on my friend's E46.

Consider Dunlop Sp9000

 

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT get P7000s!!!! They are one of the worse tires in the market, they are noisy, rough, poor on wet.

225 or 235 should be okay for 8x18. 245 is a bit too stretchy.

 

harris...i agree with you....i didnt see that it is 18X8...thought it will be something like 8.5 or 9....235 is the pick then...

another anti-P7000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harris..whats your fav tire?

 

I dont like the P7000's either! I have them on my car now and want to change...

 

My favorite tire is gotta be Toyo T1-S. I'm using the third set on my car now. They are very good on dry and wet. Very durable and very economical! For A/S, I'll highly recommend Bridgestone RE950.

 

why do people like p7000 so much?? there are better tires out there and cheaper like kumho 712, bridgestone RE730,

pierilli tire suck except the new P Zero Nero

 

what about Nitto Nt 555 anyone have them or used them before?

 

i heard good things about the 555. P-Zero are good..but they wear out really fast...also..dont forget michelin PS...they are just too expensive.

I haven't had a chance to try T1-S...whats that bridgestone tire..the name just slip my mind...something 3....arrgh

 

Here are your exact rims (even the size) on my other car, a 94 Mitsubishi 3000GT. The rubber is Nitto



They are excellent wheels for the price. I have never bent one, the chrome has held up nicely, the screws around the perimeter appear to be real, although it is not really multi-piece. The paint has held up nicely also with about 40,000 miles on them. (The car has 130,000 miles in that photo!)

Hi, new to cars here. What is meant by "offset"? I also have 18x8 Millie Miglia Evo 5 wheels w/ Bridgestone Potenza S-03 235/40 ZR18 tires and front tires are rubbing with sharp turns. Any way to correct this? Is this wheel/tire combo wrong?

Thanks.

 

Tire Rack has a good explanation of offset here.

I think that tire is too wide for the front. I'm not positive though, and maybe someone with more experience with wide tires could say for certain.

 

they're relatively cheap and last forever... but they suck!!!
