Nevaland,
Love the look man. I said it before and I'll say it again Sick ride

haha thanks again dude, i cant even compare tho. your car was my desktop background the entire time my car was in paint. I wish you lived closer so we can get some pics together and maybe swap wheels, i was thinking about matte blacking my equips. Id love to see how dark wheels would look on my car.

youve gotta change your sig mannn, i HAD to run spacers in the front...there are no other options.

a few from my girlfriends camera...shes way better at this than i am.

dedication to all my favorite stickers...
do they still make the "bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor" stickers? i need another one asap

Man thanks thats a big compliment. If you black out the equips it's going to look sick on your car. flat black center and glossy black lip,,,money. Shoot if you do that I might buy them...lol..

hahaha the sig stays man,,, I live by it. but I'll make an exception for you

smellslikecurry · 07-14-2009, 01:07 PM

just picked up a set
18x9 +8
18X10 +0

cars currently on
17x9 +11 215/40
17x9 +11 215/45

what tires do you guys recomend for a similar stretch on the 18s

worr20 · 07-14-2009, 01:48 PM

215/40
225/35

95KA-Turbo · 07-14-2009, 08:20 PM

I think 215/40s and 225/40s would be a better choice.

Or if you want a little more tire 225/40s and 235/40s. I wouldn't run a 225/35 on 18s unless you plan on laying the car on the ground.

i run
18x9+6 215/35
18x10-1 225/40

225/40 on the front is too tall.

gotcha

im pretty low

im trying to almost tuck rim

95KA-Turbo · 07-14-2009, 11:20 PM

Well, I guess for reference on a generic tire height chart I have:

215/40/17 = 23.77"

215/45/17 = 24.62"

215/40/18 =24.77"

215/35/18 = 23.93"

225/35/18 =24.20"

225/40/18 =25.09"

Obviously the heights will be different depending on the tire brand and the width of the wheel you put it on. I have personally always liked the look of a 225/40 on a 9" wheel.

If you want your wheels/tires to be generally the same size of what you have now I guess you want to run a 215/35 and a 225/40 (since that will be stretched a whole lot more then the 215s will be). I would still run 40 series all around though.

wh0aitznic0 · 07-15-2009, 03:05 PM

Meh, less tire size chat and more pictures. Please.

why? it looks damn flush already, if you push it out more you would run more camber?

Slammed180 · 07-15-2009, 08:35 PM

Another 5mm would be perfect for that!
It would put the tire only particles away from the fender.

ESone3 · 07-15-2009, 10:45 PM

That looks like shit. I want to pretend it is just because of the angle, but I'm pretty sure its because it looks like shit. Do you have any other shots of it?

ThatS14Guy - you don't need more spacer, you need more tire, the wheel is poking from your fender, the problem you have is your tire is more stretched then it needs to be. The spacer will "fix" the problem but it will just make the wheel even more poked and you'll have a flush tire.

My friend Nick's S14:

17X9 +5/+0 215/45 all around.

The fronts do rub, but it isn't that bad. I'll be getting smaller tire size for the fronts though.

yea i was thinking of that too, but its hard to find a 255/35/19 tire and 265/30/19 are too fucking expensive for me.
