18" rims/tires with stock height ?
 

Im running 17x7.5 on 225/45/17.. and a 1.1" drop. But Im no liking the stiffer ride and ever so slight camber. so Im thinking of going back to stock height and just putting in some 18x8/7.5 to fill the gap just slightly

for those of you who have only done that , what can I expect ?
any pics of that would be great too -thanks !!!

Don't quote me on this, but adding 18's to an OEM height vehicle may give you a 4x4 look! Springs different from whatever you're on may give you the ride quality you're perhaps looking for. What springs are you on?

you didn't drop the car at all??

Stock and 18's looks pretty 4x4 ya... What are you dropped on now that you're not happy with?

Please lower this...

I have 18's at stock height:

Yeah but you didn't stretch the fuck out of your tires

I'm not clear on how that discounts my contribution here...

OP didn't say that he was looking for stretched tires and I need a sidewall on my tire for the type of driving I enjoy.

Looks nice what trunk lid is that ?

Mine are 18x8 18x9.5

Not yet but going to lower pretty soon but nothing drastic





I been told numerous times but will take that in consideration :p

I got the 'SWIFT racing' springs.. 1.1" on all 4.
it looks great but im more bummed on the ride than the look if you know what I mean.

in the end I may just convince myself to shutup and stop being an old man. LOL

damn dude I loved the the side shot until I say the offset is VERY VERY wrong.:(

I was commending you on not doing that...Your car looks nice! You only stretch tires to avoid rub when you go so low your fender goes lower than the tire. At stock height, there is clearly no need for that

for stock ride height maybe. I think this, slammed, and slightly wider fenders would be award winning

any more pics of this car?

Wheel and tire fitment are complicated. Tire size, wheel size, camber settings, ride height, offset, wheel width, and stagger options all can make things not look right or fit funny.

18's will look great at stock height, just get ones with the right details listed above. For example lots of guys run a 18x8 +35 offset with a 225/40 fits great and looks good stock height.


Personally, I don't like as much poke as some guys have. But I live in Oregon, where it willspray mud on the side of your car.

Some additional pictures here in this review thread, but you've seen the ones that give the best representation.

Specs? Link to exact wheel?

hows the wheel gap in the back compared to the front?

Beautiful setup man. Thanks for sharing....would love to see the wheel and tire specs. They look like Rota grids?

18x8.5e44 Rota Grid Sport Bronze w. Hankook Ventus V12 (235/40)

Are you asking where you can buy the wheel?




@MightyMeeple

I don't have any picture of rear wheel gap but it is the same as the front. The only difference is that the rear wheels are slightly tucked since the rear fenders come out more than the fronts.

your better off getting a wider tire with a higher sidewall if your more concerned with the ride, get a 40 sidewall if you want to fill in that gap on stock height... im going to go with 265/40s on my rears next pair of tires to fill in my gap a little more
