Im hoping to get new 18s from a friend in about a week or two, he currently has 225/35ZR18 but i want to replace the tires soon, he only has 70% on the front two and like 30% on the back.

I want the no-rubber look without breaking 100ea for the tires. in your opinion what is the best tire size?

and is a 38+ offset good?

thanks

i have 18x8 and i run a 225x35 tires, wouldnt go any lower profile than that, khumo gets you that size for like 68 a piece... imo get something nice im runnin a 28mm offset, so your gonna have 1cm more of the sucked in look than what my car is, given that, the inner rear of the wheel well, theres wheel plastics thats going to rub slightly at full turn if you have an 8" wide wheel with a 225x35< tire, anything less than 90% will be more than fine as far as rubbing, but to answer your question... 215x35 would be ideal... but 225x35 would be perfect!if they will let you... test fit some 235's and see if you can live with any clearence issues that may arise
