Hmmm. 40, huh? Tough one. I'd go 3/8ths inch I think...

WTF does that mean? Orings?

Ah, I see. I would go way more than 3/8 then.

One inch whitewall.

So what does that leave us for a rim size?

A bunch. 18" wheels + 4" sidewall = 26" tire.

You need 29" diam. min on that car.

Yea, so that means that even on 20's you can have 4.5" sidewalls. 18's = 5.5

 

[commando1]

So it's 20" rims, 40 series profile, and a 1' WW.
What width rims are we talking to keep the same load rating?

Personally, I would go 18" X 9 with 2" whitewalls.

 

[commando1]

Bullshit. I compromised at 1".
Give you a foot and you then want a mile. No way.
