3sdm 0.05 18x9.5 +40 specs

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 9.5 inches wide with a +40 offset.

A +40 offset on a 9.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

205/40R18 tires on 18x9.5 wheels

The tire size is 205/40R18: a 205 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

We stock Pirelli PIR PZero 205/40ZR18XL at $293 each in 205/40R18, and more 205/40R18 tires through the tire search.
