i just got 18's. ( its a surprise ) but i have never had 18's so i dont know a perfect size for them , ive heard 225/40 and 215/345 - and i mean i am slammed with koni yellows and GC coilovers and all i want to do is not tuck but sit right above the tire ( fender ) -- So what size would be the best ?
---Oh, what is the best that i should buy ?
- Toyo Proxes
- Nitto Neo Gens
- Kumho Ecsta
Im so lost. Ive never heard 18's so i just need some help!
i heard good of all 3 tires. the tire size you want is 225/40/18. if you get 215/40, its going to through off your speedo a little which is going to give you worse gas milage and put more miles on your car
215/40 is actually fine as well. It's the 215/35's that people put on that really throw things out of whack and look like donut spares.
I definitely recommend 225/40 though.
thanks guys. Is $360 for 4 tires of Nitto Neo Gens 225/40/ZR 18 a good deal ?
That sounds pretty cheap. I paid over a $100 apiece for my 215/45/ZR17 Nitto NT 450's.

thats right, my fault, the 35 series is what throws it off a bit

thats reall good, where did you find them at? the best i found was toyo proxes 4 for 500
ok, so summary....225/40/18 will tuck fine with 1.5-2" drop?
dont want to jack the thread but i have a similar question...will i run into problems?
(i just put my 18s on today after my prokit and GR2s and i'm a little nervous about having less than a half inch clearance in some spots)

yea where did you find some a good deal on the tires? i'm also looking.
I found the neo gens in 225/40/18 on ebay for over 400. i'm interested as to where you got them cheaper. let me know. thanks
yeah, i need 2 new tires and if i can get the nittos for that price, i'd rather have them. i paid 72 ea for my kuhmo's (came to 322 shipped)
