Would it be possible on 18x8 in rims? or would it be too much? i know on my 17x8 in rims for my last car i had 245/45/17's on them and they were fine.

Pinoy do you have a pic of your ride with the wheels on w/o a drop? Would it be a big problem with rubbing if I went with a 1-1.5" drop?

you live in Miami. your streets are "perfect" compared to the roads we have up north. the 225's should be sufficient

for the front, the 1-1.5" drop shouldn't be a problem. for the rear with the 235 there might be rubbing. i know i'll be rubbing for sure. but then again my wheels not only have a low offset but they are also 8.5" wide. but yea, i'll tell you how things go when my eibach's come in. they should be here by x-mas and my gr-2's b4 new years.
225 should be just fine for you. I wouldnt go 235 unless u dont plan on dropping your car too much, or plan on rolling the fenders. I have a GC drop that sits real low, and I'm running 225/40 and had to roll the back fenders. I am thinking about rolling the fronts as well so I can take it down a tad lower in the front as well.

Would a 245/45/18 be too much with an Eibach drop?
that would add about 2 inches to the diamter of the tire, compared to stock. even without the drop im thinking you'd end up rubbing somewhere.Originally Posted by altima98
There is no need for 245 wide rubber...I'm running 225 on 8.5 in. wide tires around and it is more than enough. I could get away with 235 possibly...but I would have to raise my car up a tad to get that to fit. Plus 245 wide rubber is exspensive as heck.that would add about 2 inches to the diamter of the tire, compared to stock. even without the drop im thinking you'd end up rubbing somewhere.

this thread is very helpfull to me
i guess from reading that i could drop mine with
17x8 +40 offset w/ 225/45s and depending on the drop i might need to roll the rear end... which isn't a problem... eveybody says it's easy
does anyboyd have pics of a car lowered that running such a setup...
thanks fellas,
mal
