These plastic caps are 11mm.
The wheel turns freely with lock-to-lock steering both ways. 225mm /40-18 Bridgestone Potenza 050 RTF on 18x8 +40mm (OEM style 276 18" wheels). There is even an index finger more space everywhere. This means I can definitely put 245mm /40-18 tires on 18x8 +40mm? It should fit both to the sides and take the slightly higher diameter. Or am I not thinking straight? Trying to pull the trigger on some O.Z. and PSS, so this is exciting, and bad if I screw up. If I wanted 18x8.5 wheels then 40mm is still the offset that puts the middle right where it is now, right?  Click for 4000x3000  Click for 4000x3000 |
