18" LE28N's on the way...please help with tires ???
My 18" LE28N's are on the way, they should be here tuesday...I'm not sure what tires to go with....LE28N's have a +50 offset in the front and +47 in the rear.....My car is not lowered and I dont want to roll fenders.....does anyone have this setup and if so what would be the best tires, and tire sizes?
Thanx

In terms of keeping your overall diameters the same I'd go with 225/40 18 (front) and 255/35 18 (rear). You can also go with the 265/35 18 (rear) but they will be a little big in terms of diameter and will cause @ 2-3 mph error on the speedo. I'm currently using the Yoko ES100 and getting really good wear out of them.

if you do lower your car, stick with 245/35/18 for the rear to minimize your chances of rubbing. i was going to go 255/35/18 but my car is lowered and i dont want to take the chance since it is a 47+ offset in the rear. there is only 3 tire choices for the 245/35/18, im going for the cheapest of the 3 which is the falken 451. talk to jim, he will help you out big time.
btw, please lower your car ^^

if you dont lower your car, 225/40/18, 255/35/18 will be fine. if you do lower you car, you might have to change the camber a bit or roll your fenders. you can run 215/40/18, 245/35/18 and lower your car, thats what im going to do. you should definately lower your car, it will make a big difference in looks.
