Sorry, I'm supprised no one has answered you!!! anyway, I have 18's and Eibach Sport Line Springs with Tokico Struts. I have 225/40/18's and They are PHAT!!! The only thing I have a problem is with the passanger side back, it is like a hair lower then the rest and I was told it was my box in my trunk. But its in the center of the trunk? anyway, it only rubs when I make a hard left turn, but its not that bad, but other then that, I LOVE THEM!!! GO for it, you wont be disapointed!!! Late
I use to have a White 99 GS Sport with a Star Stage II Ball Bearing T3/T4 turbo...it was fun untill....well those who remember me know Oh Ya...this is what I have now... a 99' GSX...

do they rub it all if u are rollin like 3 deep in the car,,say for some stoke of luck i get about 3 honeys in the car,,provided they are thin,, am i gonna rub? -the tire size u have is what i was gonna get, maybe even in a 35 is i can afford it,,thanx for the reply though, appreciate it,,todd
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have 18's on my ride with 225/40's as well. I don't have Eibach's on though, I have coil-overs. I haven't ever rubbed with this set-up. I can't say about a car load of people though, I don't ever have any more than two in my car. I agree to not go with the 35's, that is just too low profile especially with 18's. Any more Q's I'll be happy ot help. Joe 97 GS w/ Hahn stage 2 Keep cruisin' & keep the shiny side up. http://joeseclipse.homestead.com

Just a suggestion... If you're thinking about slamming your car on 18s, i suggest you get rims with the size of 18x7.5... 225x40x18 is a cool size... also, roll or fold the rear fenders so they wont scrape..

No, I still don't rub with my car loaded, only when I turn. Ya, I wanna get my fenders in the back rolled like the ones in the front but thats $$$ I don't have But my rims are 18X8 and thats fine, but I do suggest sticking with 40 series.
