Hi all, the standard tire size for the vehicle is: 225/50/18

I want a wider and thicker sidewall for my vehicle.

So I am thinking if I can fit a tire size of: 235/55/18

Will it fit ?

it'll probably fit but with a 1.2" greater diameter and .65" greater sidewall, i speculate the tire may contact something while turning at full lock as the fwd fenderwell is narrower due to transverse engine. even if it doesn't rub, your acceleration performance will be reduced due to taller(gearing)/heavier tire and turn in will be sloppier.

i'd suggest a small increment up to 235/50/18. 0.4" greater diameter and 0.2" more sidewall. no appreciable performance detriment or possible rubbing issues.

Will the speedometer still be accurate?

No. Larger diameter, reads slower than actual

Link I posted has all the information you need.

That tire size will not rub in the front, I am running lowered on KW coils 20x9 et35 255/35 and I have zero rub lock to lock.

Apologies I didn't read the link. That will learn me for jumping in.
