Rep Power: 0 DO NOT get 215-35-18. Its like a rubber band around your wheels. You feel every single bump and because of the lack of cushion, you are more susceptible to bending your rims. (hence me). If I could do it again, I would get 225-40-18. The only thing though is that you will have to roll your fenders. Don't worry its not any major body work, they just push in the plastic part inside your wheel well so the tires wont rub. Island motorsports in Buena Park will do it for 30 bucks. Good luck on gettin some 18's.

Rep Power: 0 Brand New 215/40/18 Tires
I have a set of Yokohama Parada Spec-2 215/40/18 tires available for $400 firm. They are brand new and have never been mounted on rims. These tires still have the original factory stickers attached to them. Los Angeles. (818) 257-2329
