Exclamation Answer to 225/40-18!

Mine is dropped with Eibach Sportline, approx 1.8 inch dropped. My rims are 18x7.5 with 40mm offset. Do they rub?

The answer is: Yes they do rub; front and back, when the car is turning, over speed bumps, carrying 3 friends or some fat chicks( I haven't tried the fat chicks yet).

Thanks to Discount Tires Co. They are so kind, ordered 215/40-18 Falken ZX512 then 225/40-18 to try on without extra charge. Tomorrow morning, they are putting the 215/40-18. I do like how the 225/40-18 look, flushed sidewalls, very agressive; too bad, they rub

Well, for those who have been wanting to find out the answer, hope this helps!.

That was nice of Discount Tire, too bad they rub, although I like the smaller sidewall. Nice wheels what are they?
