    soo 235/40/18 all around

    cuz im buying 2x wheels 18x9.5 (rear)
    and 2x 18.8.5
    If you're buying 9.5" for the rear, (which I wouldnt recommend for a FWD car) your tires width would have to be either 245 or 255. 235's would be fine for the front wheels, but they would be stretched too much for the rears @ 9.5" wide.

    Are you kidding me?! Thats gotta be a joke. Ive never heard of wheels weighing that much. You're gonna blow your tranny within the next year if its a daily driver.

    only reason I run 235s is because I like the wide contact patch, but my fenders are pretty heavily modified because off my ride height

    nice wheels get some Nice NT05 235/45 tires for some nice summer grip =)

    wait you are getting way ahead of yourself. is the car lowered? what are the offsets on the wheels? 9.5" is going to be pushing the limits of clearance in the rear... drop, camber, offset and tire width will become crucial to getting them to fit (and you will most likely have to cut the rear fenders out). we need more info on your suspension setup and wheel offsets to give you any good advice on if they will even work (each width is going to need to be within a certain range to fit under the fenders... and the higher the width, the narrower the acceptable offset range). any wheel over 8" is going to probably require rear fender modifications if dropped deep, especially if you want to maintain correct camber.

    tire too tall. 235/45r18 = 26.3" diameter. stock tire height is around 25". speedo will be off more than 5%.

    From the sellers pix it looks as if it fits well, but I would ask everything he had to do to get them to fit. On the other hand, I wouldnt buy wheels that weigh that much. Normally wheels weigh half that weight.

    19-30 lbs each. Some lightweight racing wheels are as light as 15 lbs.

    soo then its good y are u guys freaking out.. i said 50lbs in front from what im thinkin thats 2 wheels combined in front and 55 in bank thats 2 weeks in back :)?

    i will verify the weight from the seller. and he said he has it dropped 2.2inches with coilovers. he just rolled his fenders in the back a little bit and front is fine

    is he camber corrected in the rear? if not, he is eating through tires every few months, dropped 2.2". also, he is rolling on 225/40r18 for a reason... clearance. you want to go w/ 235/40r18 and that's only 5mm per side bigger but your sidewall coming into contact w/ the fenders may become an issue, especiialy if you drop deep AND camber correct. it sounds like you want a bolt on fit w/ no other modifications... these will not be that, especially w/ deep drop and camber correction; you will almost definately have to roll/cut your rear fenders, and even more so w/ 235/40r18. again, offset will be crucial as well to the whole package "fitting" w/o touching the fender or the rear suspension.

    ugh man this is badd :( i dont want to mess around with camber and weight off the wheels is super heavy i heard 40-50lbs i was googling it. time to look for new wheels. im dropping with s-techs but i might do eibach since its less drop and i heard they are better comfort.
