225/45/18

[lonestar22]

if you are lowered on these tires, and have tein s/techs with a camber kit.
you will need to roll your fenders.
i like the look though

[quicksilver22]

ummmmmmm.....


so you're saying you got new 18's and dropped or what here?

i'm lost

[furiousgtz]

i have that setup but no camber kit

[Reelax]

225/45r18 is too tall for the 8G. tire diameter is 26". to stay close to factory you wanna b as close to 25" as paossible. 26" is 4.4% too slow.

it is only temporary. i needed new tires badly and i cant yet afford the tires i usually get. so i just got these used bridgestone pozenza re040's for $70

[RedGalant2k1]

Wow, they fill the wheel well nicely!

Any full side pics?

[SkylineG1]

i have that setup but no camber kit

Me too

[00GalantMan]

that's the same size tire i have, and i've been rubbing in the back...but i do love the way it fills the wheel well...

[lonestar22]

heres more pics, remember the front tires are still 40 series.

Not to get off subjet, sorry, but lonestar22, are those dual piston or single piston calipers up front?

[02redgalant]

[lonestar22]

their single piston. i liek the way they look over the dual piston but im sure to upgrade. once i find some v6 wheels to clear them

if it's only in the rear though, would that matter?

I like how it looks lonestar...I love the handling of 18's but this makes me wonder what downgrading to 17's with a lil beefier tire would be like too. Or maybe I'll just consider some 45's all around as is.

well to your first question its still more rolling mass, so im sure it would make a difference.

but yeah i like the look and feel of it a lot. i might do it all the way around also, just need to roll my fenders a bit more and maybe add some camber

[Ziggy]

Is the rear only the problem? I have dropped the front but not the rear.. will this work for me ya think ? there's about 2" gap in the front still.. 2.1" gap in the rear.. I am not really scared about rolling.. since I can always roll the fenders.. but however if I do hit a pothole or a speedbump, it might rub something?

[lonestar22]

if the fenders are bent back, theres nothing else that the wheel can hit. at least from my experience. if your car isnt aligned to exact specifications u may rub when u are fully turned in either direction
