Default New to forum - seeking tire/rim info-support

Greetings everyone.
There are older threads here that deal with alot of info on tires/wheels.
I have a 2010 Sonata 4cyl with stock 16" wheels. I'm upgrading to 18" wheels, and have a set on order with the proper offset and bolt pattern. All indications are these 8" wide rims will fit fine in the stock wheel wells with stock suspension; the question for me is what size tires are good for +2 rims without scraping on max load and scraping on max turn in (for the fronts). What advise can you offer?

Thanks in advance.

It really depends on the offset of the wheel itself. 8" wide wheels should fit fine with a relatively high offset like 38 or higher. You should be fine with 225/45 or 235/45 either one will work.

Check out the wheel spec thread for other NF owners' setup.
