26533, Wheel size
Posted by scothern, Mar-14-05 06:43 AM
So I'm thinking of buying some new wheels in the next couple of months. I am curretnly at the stock height on a stock suspension but I will eventually drop it maybe 2". I want to know what size 18" wheels do I look for? what is the correct tire size and wheel size so that I don't have to roll the fendors. I want a gunmetal rim with a nice polished lip. I think those look hot on a silver eclipse. anyone know what I'm looking for?
If you can give me the sizes or post a link that would be super. thanks

any 18" will be fine as long as you stay with stock width and offset.

I think 18x8 with a 40mm offset is about as big as you want to go. 225/40/18

Agreed. You are still going to have to roll the fenders with a 2" drop on that setup. I am running a 18x7.5 w/ 225/40/18 and 2" drop, I had to have the fenders rolled and have no more rubbing issues.
