#5479, "what size tire and rims.........."


          

what size tires and rims would be the best combination for the eclipse. I'm looking for 18" cominations tire sizes and rims sizes 7.5 or 8" widths.

if u have a lot of drop, maybe 215/35/18. That's thin and narrow tho. I'd have to agree on the 225/40/18's myself. Then a prokit maybe to drop it.

215/35/18 SUCK. they look awesome, but i had them and nothing but trouble. i had the nitto 450s in that size and the belts on the sidewall's would pop off (VERY BAD) luckily the tires never blew. either way, i had ordered the 50$ road hazzard warantee so it wasn't too bad, i just got them replaced every few months. a hastle thou. that and w/ that size tire you don't get any traction.

215/35-18 is not recommended. on 18's you should stay with 225. the series can change some i'd say between 35 and 45. 225/40 is good. for looks 225/35 but that's gonnab e pricey. i would but ingalls's camber shit. it's money but you'll end up payin for after you replace two tires from camber wear

hell yeah, do what they said
I had 18 x 7.5 qt alloys for about 9 months, dropped 2"
Had toyo proxes 215/35/18

SUCKED I will never ever go that way again. I went through about 9 different tires at that time and the thing that sucked was that I had to keep getting the same size tires because they were under warranty at Tire Kingdom and in order to get them at my prorated price I had to get the same tires.......soooooo after dealing with cracking sidewalls, bad camber, horrible toe and camber wear, I sold my 18's. I also agree that 225/40/18 would be a better choice and I HIGHLY recommend BOTH camber kits, the 15 dollar one for the rear and pay the extra 110 for the ingall's front, it will save you $$ in the long run
