Wheelmax lists these packages, but will they rub?
18x7.5 $225
$1399 (225/40/18) or (215/35/18)
$1450 (235/40/18)
$1499 (245/40/18)

I would have to say 225/40 would be the right size!

225/40- That's the one.

It would be cutting it close... but it SHOULD be ok.

I'm going with 215/40/18. 225 is too close for me.

Are you not going to roll your fenders ATL?

I think you'll need a 215mm wide tire for it to fit. Problem is, those 215/35/18 tires are gonna ride like hell... there isn't enough air inside the tire with the skinny and low of a profile.

You'll probably want something closer to 215/45/18.

I have 18x7.5 with a 45 offset and 225/40/18 tires. They fit fine befor my drop. I just dropped my car two nights ago and the rear rub, but just barely. I'm getting the lips cut off monday morning so they won't rub at all. If you want to see them go to my signature and look at my sounddomain.com page. by the way, they are Maxxim Eracers. I got a great deal from speedandstyle.com. ( got an extra 10% for telling them my girl is in Girlie Girl Racing. )
