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 225/40ZR18 in BFgoodwrench g-force KDW-2's and i love them. The 40's are big enough to give you a little more stability but are not too big. I bent a rim with 35's pretty bad. They are very very low.
Heres a couple pics with the 40 sidewalls on the car.
