18 x 7.5 Enkei Evo 6 in hyper black

I'm gonna wrap some 225/45/18 Kumho Ecsta SPTs around them.

And here's a review of the tire compared to some other UHP tires

Very nice! I was debating those, but decided on Motegi DP6's.

larryinfl · 03-14-2007, 05:35 PM

They do look good. Nice choice.

I think that tire size is way to large for the 6. I don't think you will be able to get it to fit. I'm not referring to width, I mean height.

Huh? Why? The OEM tires are 215/45/18. These are 225/45/18. So they arent any taller, just a little bit wider.

You wrote 245 on your initial post.

ok, first of all, regardless of whether you meant 225 or 245, both of those tires sizes are taller than stock. 45 isn't a size, it's a ratio of the width. So, it is taller. That being said, if you did mean to type 245/45, that will be substantially taller and much wider and you will definitely have to roll your fenders.

anyway, don't typically like 6 spokes rims, but those are pretty sharp.
