Hey guys,
I need some help. I am pretty dam smart when it comes to knowledge about cars. My weakness is definitely tire and wheel sizes, I think due to the lack of my experience with them. Anyways, I was in desperate want of wheels for my FR-S. I have coilovers already but wheels make a big difference in looks. I ordered XXR 530 18x8.75 +33mm. I want to get some pretty thin tires on them, nothing too crazy thin. I have an example of what I'm looking for as in size comparison. They are Enkei RPF 1's on a hot lava fr-s and i know they are different wheels and sizes, its only as a comparison of what i want my tires to look on my wheels. Any of you that could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated. THANK YOU!:D:bow: |
The tires pictured are 245/35/18. I run this size tire on 18x8 +45 and 18x9 +42. It's outside diameter is equal to stock. I also would consider a 225/40/18. +33 will poke in the front (I am conservative) and you may want the narrower tire. They are also cheaper. Camber bolts should help a bunch. Inexpensive too.
Edit: I know alot of guys run a 235/40. I am just not a fan of how they look. I would rather have either size I mentioned... |

Do they come with hub rings? If not, I'd suggest getting some. Hub rings center the wheel on the hub.

Decided to go with 225/40r18 after some research. I did order hubcentric rings. Thank you guys

Am trying to decide between these two sizes as well for my 8.5'' wheel width. Ideally I would go with 225/40 , but I am just scared of it being stretched and leaving a gap on the sides.
