I got my 18x7 Kaxera KZ-V wheels mounted today. I am ridding on Hankook RS2-Z212's.

Why didn't you go with 7.5 inch width wheel? Hankook's own website says that a 7.5 inch wide wheel is needed for 225/40R18.

I run the same tire, in a 225/45/17 on the stock 7" rim and the specs say 7.5. It fits fine. I think they tend to err on the cautious side.
