rollin on 18's

[smurgle]

i have an i4 i was wondering how some of u guys like the way 18's feel on your cars or do u prefer the feel of 17's or no difference whatsoever it don't matter?

[G Unit]

I have 17 Panther ER219's with Datona 215/40/ZR-17's on my 02 Galant, I was going to go with 18's but they wouldnt leave hardly any room for tire selection not to mention the added cost difference between 17 and 18 inch tires and rims was close to $600 more for only an inch difference. I am more than pleased with the way the 17's on my car make it ride not to mention it corners like it is on frikken rails!!!!!!!!!!!! I have only had the rear end swing out once while cornering and it was because I hit a patch of sand while taking a hard 90 and was going way to fast for the corner itself. It only bobbled for a second and then when the tires caught it was back under control! I think my tire and rim package has the optimal blend of under/oversteer of which neither is hardly noticeable. I got a hella deal on the package to boot! Only $1100.00 complete

[smurgle]

so u are sayin u think if i hit a big bump my tire could hit the wheel well
do the 17's look a nice size i think i am gonna go with em
thank u 17's sound good like apple pie

[galantv600]

i dont like apple pie :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

im gettin 17s too.... neverknew the actual price dif. in tires!

[smurgle]

sounds like less worrys with 17 and they are cheaper thats more $ forother mods

The 18's will definately rub the wheel wells especially if you have anyone riding in the back seat! I almost went with them but the cost difference and the rubbing made me change my mind and stick with 17's. Attached is a pic of my 02 with rims.

PS Peach Cobbler is better!

You need to do a search... I've been rollin 18s for almost 2 yrs now WITH a drop and I have never rubbed.. only time people rub is when they transport a pack of small elephants..

IMO <span style='color:red'>17s are way too small</span>... 1100 is a bad price for 17s and tires... Shop around you could have gotten 18s! All Im going to say is dont settle for the cheap stuff.. cause in the end you'll regret it and wish you have gotten the 18s...

[SilverKnight]

i dont have an I4 but a V6 and i went with the 18's just because the 17's looked to small for the car. I did rub on the back and had to lift the back but that is because i got 235/30/18 which are to wide but it'll be okay once i get new tires. here is a side pic of my car with the 18's. oh and i got my 18's with tires for 1000 so there are better prices you just have to shop around.

Chrome's right....I've been rollin on 18's for a few years now and I have never had any issues with rubbing.

[galant2nr]

It is all about the offset.
My rear doesn't rub even all the way down and I am rollin 19s.
The front doesn't rub, it buries itself in the plastic fenderwells....

If you do some research on tires you will find that 225/35-18 are almost the exact same diameter as 225/40-17.

[G Unit]

I had a set of 18's mounted with 235 40ZR 18's and put on my G and they rubbed like a MOFO front and back! Thats of course using the stoclk offset and by the way.... I dont know where you get your wheels but arround here 1100 for a full set of wheels and tires mounted balanced and tax included is a helluva fucking deal here! The same rim with 18's was 600 more! Maybe you should come to Texas and open a wheel center and give me some of those prices your talkin about because im not made of money like some of yall! Hell even better just send me your rims and I'll put them on my car and you can get new ones! :twisted:

Hell you coulda went to wheelmax or wheel boutique.. Wheelmax even has free shipping..and all online sales have no tax.(unless you are a resident of that state)

[G Unit]

Without tax and with free shipping wheelmax was 266.00 more for the package! I got the package set from Discount Tire locally.

Okay..

What ever dog.. just providing my input.

Drop that thing!!

And can you make your sig just a tad bit BIGGER??

[CWolf]

The reason you were rubbing so bad was because you had 235 tires on there with the stock offset. I'm assuming you weren't dropped then, since tour car isn't dropped right now. That means you were rubbing on the inside, against your suspension. 235 tires would fit, you just need a smaller offset to bring the wheel more toward the outside of the car. But obviously that can make it stick out, so.... yeah. That's why you were rubbing so bad. I have 18x7.5, +45 offset, w/ 225/40/18's front and back, and absolutely no probs yet. Will be getting dropped as soon as I have the $$ too...

[illmatic101]

Yo whats up silky. I want to get chrome 18's for my g'ride so whats the best tire size that I should get for them. Also I think I know what you mean by tire offset but how do I go about getting one that not going to rub? BTW im from new york so what ever tire size will have to be able to take some potholes around here once in a blue.

[Xska55]

best tire size =225/40/18
best offset = between 42mm and 45mm
i have 40mm and im still good no rubbing at all but i would go with somethin between 42 & 45 mm
illmatic you should check out the meet on dpa aug 23rd,,,look in the east c oast thread for details
