tire fitment on 18x8.5 30+

[Chungstah240]

im fairly new to the whole car scene and wanted to get some input on tire fitment. i run a s13 hatch and am planning on buying xxr 522 18x8.5 with 35+ offset. was thinking 225/40. am i completely off? need help!
(things to consider: im getting the rims before coilovers, its at stock coil atm)
THANKS

If you have stock suspension you can get whatever tires your heart desires.

Please don't get 18s on a hatch at stock height, if your gonna get those wheels get 17x9+25 atleast. There is a wheel fitment question thread search there, also

Idk if you care but personally I feel that these wheels are ugly in person because the spokes look like They stick out further than the lip of the wheel and look silly with meaty tires, if you want a similar style you'd be better off getting weapons. get coilovers first
Yahoo Search Results - xxr 522

You are most likely are going to need spacers to clear the coilovers since you are running honda offsets.

the coils will eventually go in.
do the 18s usually look bad on the hatches? or is this just your personal preference

I run 18 and like the fitment . 225/4018 frt 245/35 18 rear

^that 225/40 is about good, also brands differ. They all may say 225/40 but depending on brand one may have small stretched while the other appears to have no stretch at all.

get some rota grids your spokes won't stick out 1/2in lol

random pic i found of rota grids on s13

Im close to the same.situation. about to get xxr 962 18 x8.5 +35 offset. Running agx/tein springs. Will the fit flush? Was reading +25 is flush on s13 so I guess 10mm spacers will work.

I prefer 17s on stock body, but I'm down with a 17 18 stagger, the reason I say not to do 18 Is your car will look donked till you get coilovers, but you should definitely get the 9s and a lower offset because if not you will require spacers

Chat section has more than enough threads about wheel/tire fitment. Do some searching, you'll find what you are seeking, I promise...
