  • 18" rims with 245/40 tires

    I recently purchased a set of Mille Miglia MM11-2 18"x9" rims with Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tires to go with them. If I put them on my car is my speedometer going to be messed up?

      damn dude you have the same exact rims I do now! I also have 245/40 on mine and the speedo is 1.8% fast so when it read 60 your doing 58.

      ps did you get yours from tirerack.com?
      Please go with wider Tires!!!!!!! you won't like the 245's i wish i had got the 275's :mad: .

          Yeah I got them from tire rack on a close out price: $149/rim.

          As for their weight, I'm guessing their no more than 25lbs a piece.... which is probably close to the stock rim weight. It's way tough to get a racing tire and wheel package without breaking the bank.

          And as for the 275's....... yo that's cash money that I don't have G, but I'm sure they look damn good.

              But If I have different tire sizes I can't rotate the rims.

              Firefighter--
              Did your Camaro look like a 4x4?

                The speedometer will be off by less than 1.7%. So you shouldn't even notice a difference at less than 100 mph.

                    Dam FireFighter, you paid $70 for those Nokyas???
                    I got a pair a few weeks back for $20. Hook-up. Even with no hook up, its only around $30-$35. I sold it to my bro for his Accord.

                        Yo,

                        I weighed my rim and tire (not mounted) yesterday and the rim weighs 21 lbs while the tire weighs 26.5 lbs.

                        Firefighter- I'm sorry to hear your tire and rim, mounted and balanced, weighs 56 lbs. It must be because of your 275 width.

                          no they are 245's but that scale is always wrong so maybe that was it. it said my stock rims and tires were 44lbs each. do you have these rims on the car yet? I strongly recommend lowering because it looks so much better.

                            Funny, I have pretty much the same setup, Kumho Ecsta Supras 245/450/18, except my Mille Miglias are the Evo5, not the MM11-2. I might be selling my rims and tires sometime in the next month or two, how much you guys think I should ask for them, very little curb rash on 2 rims and tires are all brand new with 4k miles on them. And hey, my name is James too, lol.

                              I just had my wheels and tires put on yesterday and they look SO nice. The large spaces between the spokes allow the slotted dics to be seen much easier. I'm very impressed and happy.

                              As for the tires....... they provide a TREMENDOUS amount of traction over the stock Eagle GA's. There is absolutely no vibration at speeds under 50ish. Any higher, the texture of the road dictates the vibration.

                              The best part about the package was that the little woman REALLY liked them. :D
