BAHPSH Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 read all the threads, still a lil confused. lookin to get 18's, either 18x7.5 with 225/45/18 +45 or 18x8 with 235/45/18 +45 will either give me problems? the car will not be lowered (most likely) due to poor roads. so someone please help me out. all comments welcome (unless negative) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAHPSH Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 that looks nice. will 18x8 fit alright? or is it better to go with 7.5"? only thing im worried about the 235/40/18 is that the sidewall isint very wide and id be scared of ride quality. anyone else?

Claw Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If ride quality on poor roads are a concern, I'd stick with 17's. I was very wary of my 18x8 PFF7's with 235/40/18's for some time driving on our Canadian roads, lots of bumps and potholes everywhere you go, but handling outweighs that. Do a search and you'll find a couple of pictures of the PFF7 and 235/40/18 combination.. I'd shoot some pics for you if I wasn't running on my winter tires.

fweasel Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 18x8 +46 with 235/40/18 tires lowered on Ions. Had some slight rubbing which has since been resolved with new shocks. http://www.photodump.org/stored8/prodriveGC-05.jpg ignore him, he'll go away.
