Default Wheel and Tire guys..

For all those experts with everything wheel and tire related, I have a question for you.

I am looking for a new set of wheels and tires.

I have Eibach Sportlines on my car, and I do not want to worry about rubbing.

I also want to fill the wheel well with as much rim/tire as I can.

I want 18" wheels (preferably staggered).

What are my options?

Thanks!

FM

With 18's don't worry about rubbing unless your running some very wide front tires. Some 18 x 8 or 8.5 fronts and some 18 x 8.5-10" rears if you want staggered.

Stock 18" uses a 235/50/18 tire.

If you go with a 8.5 or 9.0 front, tire 255/45/18 and rear 9.5 or 10, tire 285/40/18, your overall tire diameter will be close to stock.

sp44, interesting question..

I do not yet have an answer for you [8D]

I am open to suggestions of 18's that will look good with my color.

I am trying to stay under $1200 for the whole setup.

Maybe GT500 replicas? I want to hear some ideas.

I like your setup black S197! Where did you get your wheels/tires and how many clams would I be looking at for something similar. I don't think that wheel would look good with my color, but the wheel and tire combo you have is sexy!

Thanks to everyone who has given me some help so far!

I went 255/45 F & 275/40 R in order to keep the stock wheels. If any body could explain how to post a bloodypic I`d be most grateful. T.I.A.
