I've seen a couple of people on here run this size on their lowered cb7. I'm not lowered, and probably won't be for awhile.. and I want to run them on my new wheels when they get here.
The offset on the wheels is probably between 38mm - 42mm. The current owner says they fit like any other wheel on the cb7, and the correct offset for the cb7 is 42mm.
You guys think they'll rub?
I already ordered the tires, they'll be at the shop next week.. I only have the chance to swap them out BEFORE they install them.
If they rub, I could just get wheel spacers, right? Since the only thing they'd rub on is the spindle mount (the big arm that holds the wheel spindle/hub).. ?
Advice is needed.. I really want to go with this size, because of the thick sidewall and the price, but I'll consider other options if need be.
If it helps, I compared the 225/35/18 (recommended for the cb7) side by side with the 225/40/18 and there is virtually no difference in overall diameter, the 40 series is only a hair taller.
TIA,

PS:
225-35-18 vs 225-40-18
205-55-16 (my current tire size) vs 225-40-18
