Thanks piotrr & Vten!

Ive already got my flat black 527's mounted with stock tires and I gotta say its not as bad as I expected.

Will upload pics once I get a decent drop going, I mean they look much better than stock...Just doesnt look complete without being a little lower. As most would agree.

How much better does 235/40/18 look over the 225/40's? I can't decide which size tire to get. 235's are considerably more expensive because of the uncommon size..

^looks are subjective. also depends what look you are going for. and what setup you have/want.

I'm lowered about 1.2" on rsr super downs and just want the wheel to fill the wells and have little to no wheel gap while still being a functional dd. You think 235s will make a huge difference in accomplishing this goal? Coilovers will come next year.

I had 225 and i didnt like it much.
I switched to 235/40 and it looks MUCH better, but I hate the stretched look so depends on your opinion.

this is on 235/40

this is 225/40 not really a good pic but you can tell theres less meat

^wheels specs? 18x8.75+30?
Tire brands/models? I plan to run federal 595ss 225/40-18 which run wide. Considering 235's now.

235's will be taller, which would make you look lower(because less tire/fender gap), but car will actually be slightly higher.

Thanks you just helped me decide on the 235s. They definately look meatier and cleaner. I'll be sure to post pics once my setup is complete.

225/40 was with accelera
235/40 is with nitto neogen
18x8.75 +35

And there wasn't much of a height difference from 225 to 235 from what I can tell

These titanium Muteki lug nuts match the hyper black perfectly. Can't wait to get tires!

For the following post asking what 245/40/18 would look like. These are on MPSS. I think fitment is perfect!

AirborneFRS · 12-21-2014, 02:20 PM

18x8.75 +33 on 255/40r18 with Eibach Sportline (Shoulda stick with stock spring). Does anyone have issues with rubbing?
