Tire size

[accordoholic]

I am getting new 18 inch rims but my car will have a stock suspension. I do not want the car to be high off the ground and I dont want a lot of wheel gap but I can not afford any suspension work. What should I go with. Also which would not rub or rub a lot? Thanks guys

215/35/18
225/40/18
235/50/18
235/30/18
235/40/18

What about if I got 17's then I could have more thread but will there be less wheel gap too?

Bigger wheels will not help wheel gap, unless you get large profile tires, but if you make the overall diameter larger than stock, it may rub when you have people in your car and or you go over bumps or potholes. The only way to truely get less wheel gap is lowering springs and shocks.

And when you do, with 18s you will need a 215/35/18 to best keep the stock overall diameter, or 205/40/18 will also give an about stock diameter.

Buy 15s With 18 The Ride Is Crap( Just Took Mine Off)

I can tell you for a fact that changing wheel size won't decrease the gap.
Take my car for instance, since I haven't lowered it yet there's still a pretty big gap. But I'm working on that part.

dont get 18's just work on suspension before you go 18's

u say u dont have money to lower the car then how r u buying rims, seriously dude lower any car it looks great with or without wheels put wheels on a car that isnt lowered and u will not lessen any gap but rather make the car look like a 4x4 and thats no pretty

I have 205/40z/17s n it looks cool on my car it all dependz on da suspenssion or da drop you have

[mondojackal]

wait..
215-40-18
and
205-45-17

those are the best sizes to keep relatively close to stock.

wont fill up the wheel gap too much, but just get some egay coilovers for like $60 and use those until your stock shocks blow, which may or may not be too soon.

either way, stick to those sizes..

how about you not tell the guy what he wants, and just tell him what he's asking. he has his mind made up already as to what he wants. if he wants the right tire sizes, just keep your post count what it should be, and dont even bother posting on this thread.

i got 225/40/18 on a sport drop,it looks nice,
get it drop before puttin the 18 ,it would look nicer.

Keep in mind when your buying new rims that you get the correct offset for the size rim so you don't rub on the fender wells. The higher the positive offset the better man! This offset will determine what size of tire you should get.
