ok, so i found some 18" rims a great price, but now i cant find tires for them without being in the highperformance super high prices and wont work in snow tires..... i dont need high performance tires, just something that will handle normal driving. i like the good year tripple tread, but they only go up to 16's, and are all like 205/60/16R.....the wheel is 18x7.5....not sure how wide of a tire i need then....is that 225? or around there? and im looking for something like 225/45/18R....but i dont have alot of money, and dont want to pay $150+ a tire...

Those are too big IMO. The overall diamter of the tire is 2" larger than stock. Your speedometer would read almost 10% off and your gearing would be materially affected.
If you are looking for budget, I would go Khumo Ecsta ASX in 225/40/18. $100 from tire rack. A better option would be Pirelli P Zero Nero in 215/40/18. $130 from tirerack. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
