uh.. you'd have less of a problem fitting 18s with a stock car then with a lowered car. i have 215-40-18 tires on neuspeed sports. 1 finger gap all around. no problems at all. see members page for pics

ya no problems even with 4 people. well except i scrape a little when i goto my friends house.. she lives in the hills and that mess is steep as hell... but ya otherwise no problems. oh and btw, i dont have a camber kit so ya i have negative camber. if you have a .5 degree camber, you might have some problems. dont even get my tires tho, i would suggest 215-35-18 or 225-35-18(not 100% sure if those fit tho).
