Default UPDATED HELP TIRE GODS! 18x8.5 +22 18x9.5 +22 stretch tire sizes

Well i got my car back and it looks great i just need to lower it alot more..ads my tamon design spoiler and downforce sides and thats how she should sit. Anyways just thought id let u know its definately possible to fit




hey guys have a set of te37's with yokohama ad08 235/40(i think)/18 and 265/35/18 the tires are way too wide i gave them to my body guy like that and he said he can do the fender work but the tire sizes will still look stupid. anyways what im looking for is what tires do you think would work best..i don't mind the look of stretch either...i was thinking maybe a 215 front and a 255 rear maybe 245..

PLZ HELP

another alternate i guess is aftermarket fenders but i like the cleaner look of oem



keep in mind i put on coils now soo there is a little more camber and a lot lower

You bought them because it was a deal you couldn't pass up right? I suggest getting Downforce front fenders and go with a 225/40 in the front and ASM rear over fenders and go with a 255/35. And to do the rears justice you'll have to cut the rear quarter panels.

Well, your real problem isn't the tires, it's the wheels. Narrower tires or not it's still going to look wrong. The offset is very low, and would work best on a widebody. May I ask as to why you got those in such a low offset?

i have asm rear flares already mounted on there now.. i think a 255 actually might clear..i flared the oem fronts but still wont be enough.. i dont think the downforce fenders would give me any more clearance than my already oem rolled front..

LOL the wheels in that photo looks ridiculous. If you plan on keeping the wheels, rear flares and wider front fenders are mandatory.

That being the case, then you would want to have the narrower tires and a lot more camber. Probably will want all seasons while you're at it.

You may want to PM this guy. He's running 17x9.5 +22 all around though but I think he can answer your questions.
