#2391, "18" Rim/tire Setup Question"




          

Gee, this is something that hasn't been covered.

I'm going to be getting 18" rims and I was wondering if I could go with 8" on the width or would that be too wide. The tire size that I would get would be 225/40ZR18. I want my rims to be flush with the side of the car so that they match up as close as possible to the edge of the body and don't sink into the wheel well and look like a chick with a dress that's too big for her. But I also don't want to have the tires rub inside the well. I'm shootin' for a 2" drop, but if that means that there will be issues, I can compromise on the lowering amount and/or the wheel width. Anyone with 18's please let me know what width you've got as far as wheel width, lowering amount, and any issues that you've had and how you corrected them. Thanks.
