Why will it look anemic? lol my car doesn't live of red blood cells.

I was also thinking the following similar to my initial post

Fronts: 18x8 with 225/45/18
Rears: 18x8 with 235/45/18

45's instead of 40's

i know what you mean 18x8 is narrow, i had 19x8's before on the front they filled the guard with 215/35/19 tyres same with the rear but there was a little room plus the guard is lipped and not sure but by the looks of other s2ks there used to be a black guard in there which looks like it has been removed from mine by the previous owner.

so dunno if my logic is right, if i get 18x8 on the rear with a phatter tyre should compensate that anemic look?

...only if the offset is enough that it pushes the outer edge of the tire close to the guard.

seriously, PM rijowysock for some advice. The dude has a lot of knowledge when it comes to offsets.

STAIN

ive pm'd him he's been helpful but he only answered for the front, still waiting for a reply to for the rear. but from he has said about the fronts i think 215 front and 225 rears are the go.

he said "kinda plain fitment.. fronts seem kinda low offset tho, as far as fronts 225 is standard but for that offset will be aggressive... maybe 205 215"

Fronts - 225/40/18
rears - 245/35/18

you have pretty 'safe' offsets at et45 running a 8'' wheel. i woudlnt go 235 on the rears, they wont be stretched by any means but u will be running on minimal contact patch. run spacers if u r worried about filling the guards.

euge!

thanks guys for all your help.

Have 18 x 8 +45 all round with 225/40/18 all round changin the rears to 235/40/18. Rims sit flush with the guards, if not a tiny bit outside. have semi stretched tyres(gota love the side walls of the falkens!) so shouldnt scrub at the front once I lower it although geting the rear guards rolled to accomodate the 235's

Oh by the way its stock height and only have slight scrubbing issues on the front, will be fixed soon with a bit of camber.

Hope that helps!
