Default Tire Sizes

Can I use 235/40-18 instead of 225/40-18 tires on my Sport Techno wheels?

Yes, it is physically possible to fit a 235 tire on an 8" wheel. But, don't expect any benefits from it.

Not looking for any benefits. I want Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and the only N3 set is 235 fronts instead of 225.

Those tires are 25.4" diameter. What size rears are you using?

You must mean Pilot Sport 2 N2. Not Cup.

He is going to use the 295/30's N2 at the rear. Same combination as the GT3's.

Sorry, you are correct. The same tires as the GT3. Will they fit?
