What size tires?
Im planning on getting a set of 18x8 SSR GT1s for my car with a set of Bridgestone Potenza S03s. My car is lowered with the tok/eibach combo and I believe the offset of the wheels is 38+. I dunno what size tire to run, 235 or 245? Whatcha think????
Thanks,
Steve
BTW how you guys think these wheels would look on my black 5th gen?

You can look at the wheels on your car at www.tirerack.com probably 235/40-18 tires but again check tire rack.

Unless you have good roads where you live, I would go with the 245's. Plus its closer to stock overall height. Use the link to check. Seems the majority of people on this board run 245/40 with 8" wide wheels with no problem. Oh, those wheels will look great on a black car.

I asked the same question yesterday..concensus is at 245/40/18 or 245/45/18...
but the prob for you is, you are running eibachs which are lower than my maxspeed drop....you might rub with 245's and that offset..
ASU174 has eibachs cut with 245/40/18, I forget which offset tho...try PMing him
