255 on 8 inch rim Pics?

[zackmd1]

So I did a quick search and found a few members that have done this but with no pictures.... Anyone have pictures of 255/45R18 tires on stock 8 inch rims? Considering doing this with my foundry 18's but am concerned about how much of a bulge it might have.

Here are 255/45-18 on the oem foundry wheels.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Just ordered 255s. Will try to post up a few pictures as well for anyone else curious about the fitment.

I wish the 18 inch foundry wheels were wider.

Same here... 9-9.5" wide would be great...

How does the car handle on the 255's?

And how is the wear on the tires?

I ran 265/45r18's last year on the factory rim. This year I am going to run 275/45r18's. I like the stock look.

I can't imagine running 275s on 8" wide wheels. There is a good amount of bulge even with the stock 235s.

Just got them mounted. Happy with the way they turned out. A bit of a wider look without the need to purchase new rims.

The AS-05 seems to get good reviews, for an all season tire in its price class. After getting some road time, let us know how you like them.

I am interested, too. I have been considering these in 275/40/19.

Well I have only a few hundred miles on them currently but so far I have been impressed. They are much quieter and smoother then the OEM Goodyear tires. They seem a lot more sticky as well. I am not slipping in the same conditions that the Goodyears would loose traction in.

Have a few thousand miles on the Generals now and so far I have been impressed! Far quieter then the Goodyears and have quite a bit more grip. They seem to be wearing in nicely with no uneven wear or increase in road noise. So far they are proving to be a decent "budget" option.

You drive a lot! I'll be getting a set of those as my next tires.
