i have the eibach sportlines and i wanna get some 18's (time to bling) i was just wondering if anybody has the same kind of set up or somethin close to it,, want 2 know about tire size, any rubbing, etc...,,thanx todd

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!!!

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

i wouldn't get 35's because the car is pretty heavy. You'd bend rims most likely. Plus your ride quality's not gonna be the greatest.

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.

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.

thanx 4 the replies fellas, ill keep ya posted on my "blinging" efforts..todd

i love the replies you gave him. i'm looking at the exact same setup

225/40/18 on 18X7.5 with KYB AGX adj. shocks and the sportline springs... so now i'm done time to get off here and make the money i'm about to spend. thanks guys. appreciate it

also what offset do you have 99gsbbturbo... and are your which style of struts do you have? adjustable?

i'm running 255/40/18 as well on sportlines no rubbin or problems and as far as that many people in the car as far as i'm concerned its only a 2 seater anyway.

with a stock interior eclipse i believe it to be a 2 1/2 seater maybe 2 3/4 if the back person is short.... lol

i love my hatchback

did you not notice this thread was over 3 years old

18's + sportlines = suck. ive been there and done that
