17/18 rim and tire sizes?

**topgunsnsx** · 09-17-2008, 12:08

I've decided to bite the bullet and get new rims/tires for my car. I think 17/18 would be nice. What are the specs for the rims and tires. Such as should rims be like 17x8 and 18x9 or 18x10? What about offset? Should tires be 215/40/17 and 255/35/18 or large? Let me know what the best combo would be. Thank you all.

I just ordered some ce28's in 17x8 +38 and 18x9.5 +34. These offsets should sit pretty flush while allowing me to run 215/40/17 and 265/35/18 tires without any rubbing issues.

The front tire sizes are fine but you should do something wider in the rear depending on how wide the wheels are.

I used to have 17/18 setup and had 275/35/18's in the rear... Rim sizes were 18x9 I think... its been a long time

265s 35 in rear front 215s 40 great setup without issues.

I got the same setup. No rubbing even with H&R springs sitting on the lower perch of bilstein.

Are those Enkie RPF1? How are they and can you post more pictures with them? Thanks.

Any rubbing up front with those 235s? General consensus is 215 is as big as we can go up front without rubbing.

Lowered on the H&Rs/Bilsteins (on top perch),
The fronts rub a "little" at full lock. Not any other time....

When I had 18's up front with 215's, they rubbed just as much...
