For those of you with 18x7.5" rims what size tire do U have? I am planning on ordering my 18" rims within 2 weeks and need to know if I should go with a 225/35/18 or 225/40/18? The tire company that I am getting my rims from said that I may have some problems with the 40 series hitting the fenders, and that I should go with the 35 series. But I would much rather go with the 40 series since it would fill in the gap better. Thanks for the info!!!

My car isn't lowered yet but i have about a 2 inch gap front and back, so i will probably get TRD springs at 1 inch or teins, which is a 1.5 inch drop.

215/35/18, i think that is the only way they will fit with the sportlines.

I'm on coilovers right now, so I can adjust the ride height.

I am planning on ordering a set of 18x7.5" ADR Demonya Black. Looks tight on a black Celi. Plus, it's gonna look even better once I get my kit on, which is being held off because of the lack of over-sized rims. But, in order to stick with my New Year's Resolution of having the car done by the end of this year, I gotta keep buying my baby "new clothes" and "accessories", know what I mean?

I am running 225/35/18 on my car... with no problems. I chose them over the 225/40/18 for one reason. They have a smaller overall diameter, yes only by a small margine. This however will effect your acceleration. The smaller diameter will let you accelerate quicker while the larger will give you a higher top speed. Depends on what you want

I like the 'slimmer profile' tires. They look very nice. But my dad says that they have a lot of drawbacks. Anyone know them?
