here's 225/40/18 + 40 offset 7.5" rims + Prokit + rear camber kit on mine
steering wheel turns still full either way.
wheels do not stick out farther than the fenders.
only scraped on the fender lip when there was a dip on the highway, at 45+ mph
they fill up the gap really nicely. have fun

Rep Power: 310 they were good. did not sag, and a little stiff but not bouncy
sportlines would be a little close for 225/40 i think even though only half inch difference

215/40/18. its a tight fit haha.
^ you mean most people run 205/40/18s? or 35s? i just did a quick search and only found 2 tires that make that size and they're $200 and $260 each!

Rep Power: 271 me? well i can tell you this. when im driving normall its fine. maybe a little bouncy in the turns, but thats it. when im driving...shall we say more spirited...i can hear either 1 of 2 things (im not sure whats actually causing the noise) its either the shock compressing all the way - "bottoming out." or its the tire scraping the inner fender wall as the body leans. the sound comes from the front, outside corner. (if i make a fast right hand turn, the driver side scrapes, fast left hand turn the passenger side scrapes.)
at first i thought it was the shock - but then i listened more carefully and it sounds exactly as it did when i first dropped my car and the rears were rubbing because i didn't have a camber kit on. im not sure. either way - ive been thinking heavily about getting Eibach Prokit springs.

that was about last summer i believe. the rear is tucking now though. honestly - that red vic some1 posted above looks hot! and you wont have to worry about the problems that come with a lowered car as much. i think i made up my mind after seeing that ^ vic that im going to go with the prokit

with the d2s man...they handle like a CHAMP!! waiting for my front and rear progress sway bars....and then my body roll will be reduced significantly.
with just the d2s alone my car is stiff...these arent meant for daily driving....but it has made my car very stiff......if i stand on the rad support in the engine bay of my car and try to jounce the car it practically doesnt do anything....maybe alittle bounce....but i have to say again, the car with this suspension(d2 full coilovers with upper camber plates and pillowball mounts) makes the car pretty stiff.
i still need to play around with the dampening settings so yea......
but i am planning to do 225s with my current setup...just need to roll the fenders for it to work.
