I know this has been covered a million times, but i though it wouldn't hurt to get some opinions for my car. I desperately need new tires so i want to get rims at the same time. I will be putting them on a 94 hatch with a recent 3sgte swap.
I had 17's and i liked them, but the tires that were on them were tiny and it made it look weird since there was still a huge fender gap etc. I have always loved 18's but i also don't want to be driving on rims and no tire... so my question is out of this style rim, VSW Vortex what do you recommend for size and tire size to go on them? I'd love the 18x8 or maybe 18x9? thanks everyone |

I've got 18s on mine, and my car has not been slower.
It depends on what wheels you go with I guess. My 18s are probably the same weight as stock or lighter. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
