talk to manny (sleepR1)
a 17" wheel is a much better compromise than an 18" go with 17x9 and run 255/40 or 245/40 if you must go 18, you will have to run 245/35 or 255/35 on 18x9 wheels or 285/30 (18x10 wheels) These sizes will keep you at the stock wheel+tire diameter. |
Hey is there an echo in here:)
Yeah, that's what I'd suggest...but as always, it's your money:) |
Thanks for the responses, but why 17 and not 18's
|
i'm no expert but in general i've heard 17 is ideal balance. 18s are more expensive to start off and to maintain. 18s will probably give you a harsher ride also. and i think the inertia of the larger wheels hurt performance to a degree.
|
If you want some 18's I'd look into the Road conditions in Jersey and determine how often you want to drive the car. If it's a daily driver I'd go 17's definitely. 18's do look beautiful though.
Tell us your budget and we can properly place you into a good wheel line. Can show you what you get for that much in a 17 and that much in an 18. Wheels only please? Tires are a pretty constant variable once you know what brand you want. Rishie |
around 350 each
|
go with 18"10 in the rear with 275/35 w/ a+50 offset.
in the front go 18"81/2 with 225/40 W/+45 offset it will look perfect and and wont rubb. |
i would stay w/ 18s http://homepage.mac.com/grapheus/pho...C00414_jpg.htm

nice photo's spooled7
|
spooled 7 is that the wheel/tire combo size on your fd, are you sure it won't rub with my pettit 1-1/4 drop...which car is yours in the photo's?
|
The one that i should you. Im pretty sure it wont rub. I have some ground controls w/ Koni's. And i pretty much slammed it as low as it could allow me without rubbing. So you should be ok with 1-1/4 drop.
|
I pretty much have less than a finger gap all around.
