Default Another idiot with a wheel/tire question....

Long time lurker...first time poster!

What's up guys! ....a few months ago I picked up a BB AP1 ....for the past 2 weeks I have spend way too many hours scrolling through wheel fitment threads/offset guides ect ect. I have owned many cars but wow ...fitting wheels on this car is a mission. There should be a course taught on this!

Blah blah blah I will cut to the chase... I'm about to pull the trigger on some TE37's 18 x 8 +45 square... I'm lowered on Megan Track coils and rolled... this car will be weekend warrior...street and track.

My question is- what size tires should I run?


I have to meet the seller tonight and sadly I'm out of time to keep researching... thanks in advance for helping a noob out! (flame suit on)

Thank you... I just edited my original post....the rims I'm looking are 18's... so the consensus is to run the same size tires on all 4 corners when running a square 18x8 set up?

If you must run these, 245/35/18.

I would highly recommend finding something with a wider width for the rear.

Of they are 18x8 then I wouldn't buy the wheels. Not with the money. 245/35/18 will be the widest you can go on them and even then its not ideal for the car.

8.5" is the minimum you should run for rear width. That way you can do 245 or 255.
