Im so happy this thread got revived, I just bought a set of 18" Limited Edition Volk CE28n's and have been wondering how they would fit/ look compared to my 17's I can't wait to get some tires on them and put them on!

Imo the tires are to small. I'd like to see my car with 225/40 or even 225/45

you sold it!?!@?!?@!?@!?@!? please tell me you kept the tail lamps?!@!? or got well over 5 figures for your car..

What exactly is special about the tail lamps? Educate me please.

 

[necrotopsy]

i don't see a point of running wider rims if you're not going to run wider tires. if you're going to run 225, get a 7" rim. if you have an 8" rim and you're not at least 245, you're doing it wrong.

That is crazy. Never seen those before. Looks like a lot of custom work...

Ok so i aabout to purchase some new rims. They are 18x8 with 35 offset. The shop is saying the biggest tire i can fit is a 215/40 onmy 95awd. That seems way too small to me. My goal is to autox with it in spring. Anyone have pics of 215/40's on their dsm?

 

[WES_393]

What shop? Tire world? Because they don't know squat and are probably going off the stock rim, not an 18x8. For that size rim you'll want a 235-245 tire. But there are a bajillion threads on here explaining about that.

BTW- 18x8 is not a good size for racing.

 

[agressivedsm]

I did look into the threads and checked out a chart someone posted saying the largest safe size was 215/50 for this offset. I believe i was running 225/45 17 dunlups on my gsx wheels on my previous dsm.

Here you go!

 

[agressivedsm]

Thats the chart i was talking about. It says for that offset 215/50 before the possibility of fender rolling.

If you insist on autocrossing a 2G on 18s, you either go big (285s) and jack the car up, or you get 245/35/18s and keep the offset between 35 and 40. However, 245/35/18 Kumho XSs, for example, are much happier on an 18x8.5 than an 18x8. Something like the wheels off an Evo X GSR would be perfect, especially if they were powder-coated a dark gun-metal color and sitting in boxes in someone's cellar.

 

[agressivedsm]

Pm'd ya jtmcinder. Im not locked into 18's but i thought it would help fill the nasty oblong wheel wells.trying to get function and style.

 

[99ECLIPSEGSXDSM]

Personally I would get a different smaller rim with a better offset for autox but that's not an option for everyone. When I bought my car the previous owner had 215/35/18s on a 9 inch rim and those suckers were streached to hell! 215 on a 8inch rim still I think would be streached pretty good.

 

[agressivedsm]

Well what about 225/40 18. I m looking at some pics of these mounted on various dsms and seem to look pretty decent.
