Default Anyone running a ---/35/18 tire with the Pro-Kit?

I'm looking at new wheels and tires and I really like the Nitto Invo's in sizes 255/40 and 295/35/18 but am worried about the fender gap with the Prokit. I know they look great on sportlines but I don't want to go and lower.

So if anyone has pictures post em up.

you do realize that the "35" is a rating that has nothing to do with the height of the tire by itself right?

It's a measure of the width of the tire as compared to the sidewall. This is used to determine the stiffness of the tire and measure how much it dampens the car. So 45 profile tires will ride about the same.

To get the sidewall height you multiply the profile by the width and divide by 100 the result is in milliliters.

For example a 35 profile tire on a 18" wheel could be 2.7" tall or it could be 4.3" tall depending on which valid size you pick.

I was looking at a few but the Black Saleens and black chrome FR500's at the top of my list right now.

And whtcanbrwnd04u, I am aware of your tire sizes, I'm definitely a fan of your car.
