Yes of course, 225/45/18 or 235/45/18 front on 18x8jj and 255/40/18 rear on 18x9jj is perfect. But you'd need lightweight rims to keep the weight down.


235/40 is of course bigger, coz the sidewall is really taller/thicker:
225/40 = 22.5cm x 40% = 9 cm
235/40= 23.5cm x 40% = 9.4 cm
Profile is just aspect ratio to the width, not an absolute fixed number.
I think my stock rim can only fit 225/45/17 max.
Will use same size so can do tire rotation.

Why cannot??? Stock Camry rims I think is at least 17x7jj. 225/50/17 can still fit for that rim size and certainly can still fit nicely into Mark X fenders. I'm using that tire size already so I know. 225/45/17 is just too small and will not look as nice as the fender gap will be huge (bigger by >1 cm). Unless you want to lower your car a lot with adjustables.

I remember the days of the Falken ZE912. When it first came out, no one wants to try, but as the feedback slowly came in and it had more positive than negative, I was recommending it until it sold so well it was short of stock....hahhahhaha:rofl:
Then lately they probably changed the compound as many of the previous sizes with traction AA was changed to A only and then negative feedback started coming in, then no one wants it anymore. Anyway now they have the ZE-914 already.....:rolleyes:
By the way, since cheap now, get it fast, sell off your Nexen......l:biggrin:

I'm curious how much I can sell the Nexxen for. And I'm looking to downsize my rims. 16" with higher profile. What do you think?

Hahaha, I still have a long way to go on my current set, so most likely it will go up anyway no matter what.

Donwsize to 16 means you use 205/55/16? That will be a lot more comfortable but knowing that you prefer more responsive handling first and comfort second then that might not be a suitable choice for you. Or you want to go a bit smaller to 205/50/16? This one just a little bit more comfortable but also less sidewall flexing than 205/55, sort of middle ground but fender gap will increase 0.6 cm.

Either way the advantage is you can still get many UHP tires and should be at cheaper price than 215/45/17 to fit your budget, and the rims should get lighter too.

I see, will choose 225/50/17 then. By standard also I feel the car quite low...

Aiyah! again want to go down. Like bro. 6UE5t mentioned will be 205/55R16. Comfort will be there but I scare you complaint about the performance again.
Ask bro. SF lent to you his Altis wheels, fit to your STD to try first, but not sure PCD same or not. No point spend so much on rims and tyres and still don't like.....:bawling:

205/55R16 more common, probably price ok, but 205/50R16 maybe not that cheap and less choices, but then 215/45R17 really plenty plenty choices......hhahahhahah:rofl:

Car came with conti csc5 235/40/18 from factory. Around 2 years ago hit something sharp on the road, tayar koyak beyond repair even contiseal cannot save it, so have to replace just 1 tyre.. Cost around 1.2k one piece. Gila punya pricing..

Because yours is with Contiseal. Or you can change to 2 normal tyres and get a puncture kit.....:driver:
