Will 235/40/18 Blizzacks fit 18X8.5" ET45 APEX EC-7

dmcM2C · 12-24-2020, 09:22 PM

Last winter I had a beater jeep Cherokee, this year I don't. I have some Blizzacks left over from my Focus RS and I was wondering if there was any clearance issues. I run the same size tire in Michelin pilot as3+ but I know tire sizes can very between brands. I assume they will fit no issues but ya never know. Figured I'd ask before I take the time of dismounting them from old wheels and swapping to my ec7.

Thanks in advance. First good snow in my area tonight was a little sketchy. Weight in the trunk and some snow tires should make it easy.

Find different wheels. Don't risk beating the Apex ones up.

Just go on tire rack website, find the tire and see what the approved rim sizes are.

Our 18x8.5 ET45s will work just fine with 235/40-18 Blizzacks.

Enjoy the snow OP!
