225/50/18 on 18x8 40 offset. Anyone try this on a xse premium plug in?

Should work in theory. Outer diameter is close to the stock 19s, just considerably wider than stock so you will probably take a hit on the MPGs

 

Be sure to share some pics

 

I'm running 225/55/17 on my LTD

 

Hi killergator

One question,
If I change the rims what do I need to do with the TMPS^s ?
Do I need to buy a new ones and pair with the car, Or I can remove the current ones and put them in the new rims ?
What is the procedure?
Thanks

@Eduardito, you can take them off the OEM wheels and put them in the aftermarket wheels. Does Mexico requires TPMS? In Canada, they're not required so I sold my OEM wheels with the TPMS and put a black piece of tape over the TPMS warning light. Personally, I think TPMS sensors are more of a hassle than their worth; too delicate, expensive to replace, and you're lucky if they last 7-8 years before the batteries die, rendering them useless. I just check my pressure every couple weeks, takes 5 minutes.

 

Yes, it works fine. I’ve 225/50R18 Michelin Crossclimate 2’s mounted on a set of Tirerack’s store brand wheels 18X8 5-114 ET38 so offset is 38mm instead of 40 but it’s been over a year and there are zero issues. Ride is great and its handles very well, feeling very planted in all situations. And, if it matters, this is on a Prime.

 

It may have been noted elsewhere, but I did have to argue with the Costco Tire Supervisor to mount them. The previous tire was WIDER and they were insistent that they weren’t a compatible tire and they weren’t going to do it. In the end they relented, but maybe expect that if you go to a chain place.
