I want them to be 18s, 6-spoke or more and preferably gunmetal. I don't really know anything about offset, (225/40/18) <-- those kinda numbers (well I know what the 18 stands for) If anyone has any suggestions or help that'd be awesome. Do it for Krystal...I gotta roll on 18s

Stock is 195 or 205, depending on which rims/tires you have from the dealer. The wider the tire, the more traction. 40 is how "tall" the tire is. 40 is probably good, because it's low profile (which looks good), but the ride should still be ok. If you get 35 or lower, you're gonna have a ROUGH ride and risk popping your tire on potholes. Get 45 if you want a smooth ride. And you already know what 18 is for

Any other goods sites that will ship to Canada?

He is an official ADR distributor and a good guy to deal with.

If your looking to put a 225/40 on, the rim is gonna be around 7-7.5 to fit properly and a lip on that size rim is going to be about 1-1.5 at the most. Just my .02

The smaller in width (215) causes the side wall to be smaller(35), its like riding on the rim. 215/35 side wall is smaller than a 225/35 side wall and so on.

Yes, I realize that it's a thin, low profile tire. I was going for that because I don't really like the look of a thick tire and I wanted to drop about 2". By the way, were you selling your car because I seen pix of it on Ebay. Or was someone just using your pix?
