What size would you guys recommend for an 18x8 rim? I'm getting the Tein FLEX with EDFC suspension and I don't wanna be *too* low, because I'll be scraping constantly with the way my area is. Also, if possible, I don't wanna have to do anything to make the tires fit so they won't rub against stuff...help?

225/40R18's are usually what's recommended and they should be able to fit without problem if the rim offset is at least +43mm or lower. My wheels are also 18x8, with a +38mm offset, and there's plenty of space between the tires and the upper control arms.


note: I thought my wheels were 18x7.5 because that's what the website I ordered them from said, well I recently learned they're actually 18x8... they say so right on the wheels, behind the spokes!

ya, I'd say 225/40 I dunno if you could put a 235 on there or not. You know that you cannot fit the edfc on the front of our cars b/c of hood clearance issues, right?

i would say 235/40/18 but your rim offset MUST be at least +41 or less. +40mm would be better. I have a +42mm offset and my rear tires barely were touching the control arm. I bought 3mm spacers and now they are fine and never touch.... also i have a 2" drop. well before i put my camber kits on my rear tires rubbed the fender..so i rolled the fender, well after the cmaber kit, the tires never go up high enugh to hit it... just, my front tires hit the front fender lip sometimes if i hit too big of a bump.

so if you ant 235 width, go maybe 1.5-1.75" drop at most and you will be fine


i actually think my tires were fine in the front before the camber kit.
