I was wondering what the largest tire/wheel combo I can put on my 3rd gen and not have problems later on when I put on the racing beat suspension package that lowers the car a bit. I just purchased a set of 18 x 8's and plan to run 225/40/18 tires. If any one knows if this is going to be a problem, please let me know before I purchase the tires. Also, let me know if it will even work at stock ride height.

Damn, my first post to the site!

 

225/40-18 will work w/ your 18x8 wheels just fine, lowered or at stock ride height. You know, you could have even gone wider w/ 8.5" up front and 9"-9.5" out back but since you've already bought the wheels...

 

Thanks

 

My advice is to avoid the Racing Beat springs. They are too soft for how much they lower the car. You will be hitting fender liners.

 

I agree 100%, and from personal experience.
