Default For those of you running 18" wheels...
I'm planning to buy some 18x8 wheels with 40mm offset. What tire size do you recommend so the car does not rub at stock height and/or lowered by HR/bilstein setup.


Thanks very much

Default I'm using 18x8 et 38, and I use either 235 or 225 40 18......
no rubbing w/ either tire. I like the 235's better ( not as much stretch )

If you go w/ 245-255's, 35 profile is the correct size to keep within the spec rolling diameter.
