#40886, "18's with 215/45/18 tires?"




          

How does 18's with 215/45/18 tires look on our cars will sitting on prokits? If anyone has any pics I would love to see it. I am thinking about getting 18's and I would like to get them shoe'd with 45's on them instead of 40's. Just wanted to know what it would look like. tia

Im not sure personally how it looks, but with a larger sidewall, the rims will appear smaller. And prokits don't really provide a large drop, which doesn't help. I'd go with 225/40's -- at least thats what I have and I love the look. This all said with the mindset that 'bigger is better'.

The reason I was wanting to get 45's is b/c I have 17's with 40's and they don't provide that much cushion while driving. Plus I would like to fill up the fender gap more. What is it with our damn fender wells? They are just so damn hard to fillup without slamming the hell out of it. I see civics and integras with 16's and they are tucking with little drop on there cars and it pisses me off. I just wanna fill the gap I have up now is all. Ahhh I feel better now that I have vented. thanks

What about Size:215/35-18 is that to small a side wall for comfort, how would it even look?
