New wheels on the way.
Hello all, I went too Santa Pod last weekend and fell in love with some 5Zigen alloys, so I ordered a set from Nemesis performance. Along with an order for a new HKS exhaust, nice people too do business with they gave me a 25% discount for ordering on the day and for going for wheels and exhaust at the same time.
Anyway I have ordered 7.5 inch for front and 8.5 inch for the rear, I am going too source the tyres myself. This is where I need some help my husband is saying 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rears, do you guys and girls think this will be the best setup too go with.
The car is not lowered and run's on standard springs, I will be getting the allinement and tracking checked once the wheels are in place, also what would be the best tyre pressure too run with, mostly motorway miles.
Oh yea and are Toyo's as good as they say, lots of questions but I want too get it right........best regards Maria xxx.

Im running 18x8 and 18x10 withe the new toyo proxies T1R's ( think thats the model) and the toyos are a very good tyre for the car and i've found they do give real good grip and seem to be lasting 100%

Tyre size is right
That is what went on my EVO5's and is going on my Volks CE28N's
As a few others have pointed out watch the offset!
Probably worth getting the geometry done at the same time!
