I roll 225/40/18. My car is pretty low(nuespeed race springs). I didn't realize at first, but the front runs when I turn all the way. I took out the black plastic fender liner thing in the front, and rolled the fenders in the back and it rolls fine. It rubs when I have the back packed with people, but it doesn't rub so hard that it bothers me. When these tires run out, im gonna go with 215/40/18.

this has been posted before, and as I remember most ppl that had 225/40/18 with a drop did say that it rubbed. I have 215/40/18 and Im very happy with them, they are not "too" thick and the ride is comfortable.

I had 225-40 before I went with my 19s. I had about a 2.0 drop never ever rubbed at all. Some people say its too thick but it wasnt thick at all. If u want u could go with the 215 40 thats a lil thinner.
