Which rims and tires to get?
I really need some help with this. I am planning on either getting the Motegi MR-7's or the Tenzo-R Passion 5's. I just want to know what size tires i should get with the 17 or 18 inch rims. I also need to know if either will rub with stock suspension.
The choices: 205/40/17
215/35/18
225/40/18
thanks

I've got a set of Passion-5s in white on my white coupe. They're 17s rolling on 205/40 rubber. Everybody loves them. They said they fit the lines of the car. Not too agressive, but just right.
If you like the Passion-5s, you may also want to consider the RS-5s. They're the Passion-5s, just soild spoke, instead of split spoke.

(Yes, yes. I know it's not lowered. The springs are in my trunk. Just trying to find a shop.

Dropping a car on 18's is not something to be considered... It should be DONE. An unlowered car on 18's looks like a jacked up 4x4. And yes, the Passions would go very well.[hr]

ya practically nothings going to rub with stock suspension. i would go with passion 5s on 225-35-18. i have 215-40-18 and its a lil too thick, 215-35-18 is a lil too thin. nothing smaller then 18s for me and yes dropping it is a must.
