Exclamation 18"

So I found a set of work wheels
18x7.5 with 225/45/18 Dunlop SP sport tires
+51 off set
For my 3.2 97 TL

Yay or nay?

Good deal indeed! Those are the right size tires according to my calculator. The 3.2TL stock came with 205/65/15 so the closest possible size in 18" would be 225/45/18. White2.5TL was probably going by the stock size of the 2.5TL which would be correct for his car and my car lol.

Yeah, then I would stay with 225. Didn't you said those wheels come with 225/45/18 tires? Put them on and see how you like them.

Hey Guys,

Similar question: would these work?

225/40/18

I'm worried about the offset.
