Wheel gurus, will it fit? 225/50/18 on 9.5" wide rim?

Hey guys, just looking for some insight. Will a 225/50/18 tire fit onto a 9.5" wide rim safely? Or without looking stupid lol

I've got some good tires that I need to mount on some rims that I could get from a family member for a good price, so just wanna know if my tires will still work on em.

Thanks!

it'll fit, it'll be safe, but it'll look retarded.

it'll fit, it'll be sorta safe, but it'll look retarded.

It is definitely outside of the tire manufacturers acceptable limits. Can you do it? I am sure it can be stretched, but for winter it is definitely not something I would advise you to do.

+1 for looking incredibly stupid.

But maybe you drive a VW/Audi and that's your thing :dunno:

50 profile is pretty tall... no one has even uploaded that size to this site... but here is a 40 profile, your 50 will be less aggressive than this:

Since sidewall is a percentage of width... i’d Say even though this is a 16 the stretch will be very similar:

Thanks for the input guys! Probably won't do it then. It's for the wife's X1. Don't want to compromise safety to save a few bucks!
