Has anyone put 18" rims on an 850? I think I just fell in love with the Moda R3's on the tire rack, but will want 18" only <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emsmile.gif" BORDER="0"> <br>Perhaps 40 profile by ?? width would work ok on 18" x 7" rims? I think I'm going to buy those this winter... May have some trophies to sell later if my roomate dosen't scoop them for his 850.

Maybe I'll shoot them some business this time. Any Canadian customers out there delt with them before? <br><BR><BR>

215/40/18 are just slightly shorter than 205/55/16, which are known to rub on a lowered 850. If your car is lowered a little, you could probably use the 215/40 with a little minor rubbing at the worst. I've seen 215/35/18, and it's got a very small sidewall that I would not want to drive on, so I suggest you go for the 40 series if you think it will fit your car.

Hey thanks! My car isn't lowered so I have all kinds of room, fairly large gap with my 17"s, no rubbing. I figure 18"s with the same tire thickness would work just fine, I think I'm the only one here running a 40 profile on 17"s.
