Hey Guys,

So am working this summer to save up around $1500-2k to buy 18 inch rims and tires. As stated above my budget is 1500-2000 bucks. What places do you all reccomend for buying them? I am in South Florida and there are tons of places down there, but I heard you can find great deals on the web.

Do you think I should get the 18 or are 17's better. Furthermore, what changes do I need to make to get 18s to fit on the car. The tires/suspension is totally stock right now. BTW the car is a 97 2.2CL.

Thanks once again for all the help,

Evan

Do 18s fit right on or do I need to change some suspension stuff? Any rubbing with 18s?

I know this question has been asked a million times, but here is 1 mil and 1. What are the bolt patterns on the 97 2.2? Sorry I know I should search, but I am lazy today.

Much Love,
Evan

I agree, I only bought my rims there because they were the only place in the US that had them. They were shipped really fast and had a crazy ammount of plastic wrapped around them and they shipped in a box. The only thing is they tried to tell me to get 205's to make sure they fit. I got 215's but wish I spent a little more for 225's. They came all ready to put on with lugs and everything.

Don't worry about rubbing with 18's, my tires are no where close to rubbing.

man if u're gonna be spendin around 2000, just get 19's man, they look a lot better and they're in that price range, and they wont rub either 225/35/19 will look just right

I say 19's. I have 18's and i wish i went bigger. Wheelmax has good deals, i bought on ebay and got my own tires around here. Got the exact setup i wanted, and a good price.
Bolt pattern 4x114 or universal 4 lugs
i have 225/40/18 nitto 555 zr's with no rubbing on the prokit drop.

18s and a drop fit perfect with minimum rubbing ... u go 19's then drop ur gunna have an ass load of problems

Thanks for all the help. I think I will look for some 18s with tires for around the $1200ish mark. Then save up the rest of my money for a drop. That should have the ride looking sweet. Now I just need to start working so I can have the $$ in like 8 weeks.

Take Care,
Evan
