Curious to what size tires are you guys putting on the stock 18 inch foundrys. They come with 235 all around anyone experimented with 255 in the rear?

I'm planning to go with 255 Michelin A/S 3s in the spring all around. They will bulge a little on the wheel but shouldn't look too bad.

I really wish the 18" foundrys were more than 8" wide. I love the look of them. I'm just going to use them as my late fall to mid spring set and stick with all seasons (not a daily driver, I have a truck for snow duty).

Yeah, I wish these were at least 8.5 wide so that you could do 255s easily.

The foundry wheels would be good candidates for wheel widening!

I would buy a set for the rear in a heartbeat.

I put 245 50 snow tires all around on mine. Still looks too narrow, especially in the rear.

I really considered that. They are already heavy though, widening will make them even heavier.

Going from the stock 18" foundrys with 235s to TSW Bathursts with 275 MPSS saves you almost 5 lbs on each wheel/tire combo.
