I've pretty much got it squared away now. I purchased 18x8.75 and I'll wrap them in 225/40 Firehawks. Should have some stretch in there, do you think that's too much? I'm a little worried because the firehawk doesn't have a rim guard, but whatever lol ![]() As for the others calling my car a rally car... lol ![]() ![]() |

Wow, that's a tow job!!
You'll have a little bit of strecht but it'll be fine. I'm running 18x8.5 with 235/40 and they fit perfectly. You may consider that size since your wheels are a little wider than mine. I choose 235/40 mostly for the additional 4mm of ground clearance they give me, since I'm on TRD springs from the dealership and it's my daily driver. They also help closing the fender gap a little (another 4mm). Even if they have slightly bigger diameter than stock wheels, the speedo seems accurate enough. I was on cruise control last week and got a ticket for the exact speed showing on the speedo...so it's not an issue. |

Less offset (ie +30 instead of +40) already has more poke. If you want the wheel tucked in more you need a higher offset. You can't increase offset with spacers, only reduce (and add more poke).
