I used 235/40/18 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's all winter this past year on the stock wheels. I'll be putting them back on in a couple of weeks. They don't look that great compared to the stock tires, but my car is definitely amazing in the snow. Pretty darn good tires on dry roads too.

225 size is not recommended for the stock rim X. Having more than 1 % diameter (with the 225 you are around 2.4 %). 235 is the minimum.

Just got a set of 225/45/18 Blizzack LM-60 installed on my stock GSR wheels. No issues (other than the fact I didn't have a key to the locking lug nuts, thank god I never got a flat tire, I had no clue they were even on the car, the tire place was able to break em off with a little heat and elbow grease), the tires look just a tiny bit stretched over the rim, but it's honestly not as bad as I thought it would look.

hm
Sorry for another tire size question, but can anyone confirm that 235/40/18 tires fit on our stock GSR rims? I have seen several posts stating that it SHOULD fit, but would like to hear that someone has actually done it before I put down my $800 on a new set of snow tires.
thanks

Sir i quarantee you , you will not see a difference to the naked eye goin down to a 235 , i assure you i have on hand experience with tires and sizes all the jazz. Rest assured it will work great , also on a snow tire you DO want to go down on the width size , why? , because the thinner the tire the Better traction it will have in snow conditions.
