Looking for some help on fitment
Currently I am running Eibach (82105140) Performance Spring Pro-Kit, which lowered the car roughly 1-1.5" all around with the stock strut. Recently I purchased 18x8 +35 wheels and 245x45x18 tires. However now that I have the tires next to my car they look MASSIVE. I was doing some research and some people say to go with a 245x35x18 or a 235x35x18. What would any of you recommend for good clearance because I do not want to have to worry about rubbing or rolling my fenders? Anyone have experience with running this setup with the same or similar suspension geometry?
Thank you, Anthony

245/35 18 would probably be closer to stock circumference. I mean if you're not currently rubbing on 245/45 18, you're not going to rub on 245/35 18.

Well I haven't gotten the tires mounted on the wheels yet thats my main concern is wasting the time and money to mount tires only for them not to fit.

my $0.02
i had 245/35/18 on my 18x8 front wheels to match the rear tires on my 18x9s. but after driving on them , they were too wide. i took them off and got 225/40 on the fronts. now the steering is better. lighter, more precise. im running MPSS tires. and have eibach prokit spring too. id suggest getting 225/40 on the 18x8 wheels. they will fit great at +35 offset and the tires are much cheaper!

Also be sure to pick a good tire make/model for your wants/needs and usage envelope. And check actual measured performance data at tirerack.com to be sure you don't get a crappy-performing tire. |
