18" Wheels with 225/60/18 Tires

Tyler-98-W68 · Feb 28, 2012

I sold off my stock wheels and tires from my FDII compass, and got some 18" chrome clad wheels that come on the Caliber RT's. Yes I still have the dodge center caps anyways...

Put some Falken Sincera 211 tires on 225/60/18 28.62" diameter.

On my previous FDII Patriot I put the Compass Chrome clad wheels on with 225/55/18 tires and it didn't really have enough tire to fill the wheel wells out. The 225/60/18 makes it look alot nicer and more balanced.

As for the tires, they are nice and quiet, and not too bad in the snow for a touring tire. I will post updates when I have a few more miles on them.

Oh and the million dollar question, these tires do NOT rub.

Does that mean no more off roading? No more videos?

Tyler-98-W68 · Feb 28, 2012

There will be more videos, just not as frequent. I have an electrical impact wrench so I can switch my tires over in about 30 minutes if I feel the need too. We have had so little snow this winter, and the loud tires were really starting to bother me, and they never really were put to good use so yeah, that's why I have these on for the time being.

They look good. Burly Rez Goat he still has his off-road tires. His wrangler territory tires. I am sure he will still continue his off-roading vids. His Compass is FDII and he will get the itch to go off-road.

Again, nice tires. Glad they don't rub.

Hello everybody, do you know if the 225 60 18 tyres would fit before lift?

I have a 2007 crd Awd Compass, now with 215 55 18 tyres.

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

I have a FDII, I was not lifted before I had those tires on, and I had zero rub. Without FDII you would be a bit lower, but if there was any rub, it would be very very minor, and at full lock only.

Thank you Tyler, could some spacers solve that possible rub?

Thanks again.

Tyler-98-W68 · Sep 14, 2014

I believe so, you wouldn't need much of a spacer, 3-5mm would be all you would need. You cant get hub centric spacers that small (I haven't seen them) but the lug centric ones while not ideal wouldn't hurt if you needed to use them.

Thank you again Tyler, I will study it.

Regards.

Looks nice

Tyler-98-W68 · Jun 20, 2015

didn't notice any difference VS running the stock tires and wheels.

What size was stock on yours.

Did you notice any difference in ride, handling or performance from any of them ?

Which size gave the best ride ?

Which size gave the best handling/performance ?
