215/35/18 front tires
Anyone running 215/35/18 for front tires ?
right now I have 225/40/18's but they are to tall for the fender going over bumps turning.And to wide with the drop,like I need spacers in the front,because their rubbing the body too.
The tires are just about rubbing turning the wheels on flat ground.
So I think the 215/35/18 will bring me a 1/2" lower then I can adjust the coilovers higher for same drop and tires will clear fenders and would be able to get more suspension travel too.
I'm going to try this,before running spacers
I just don't want to get the smaller tires then end up with a bent rim a week later.
The wife allready calls me the rim cracker.

I will end up getting spacers too.
Gotta try out the hellaflush look.
The tires are exactly what I would want to buy since they are nexxen 3000's and I able to get a pair basically new for $100.
And if I don't like them I could switch back and sell the other 2 and will not lose any funds.
But,I can't get the Craigs seller to answer phone/email.

So the seller called me saying the tires were allready sold.
Even thou his ad says:
If the ads still here the tires are. That's lame....
So now The idea's been put in my head,now I have to buy a pair.
The cheapest I found a pair of the 215/35/18 nexxen 3000's was $170 shipped on ebay.
If anyone knows where I can get these tires any cheaper I would appreciate the lead.

35 series is way too thin, I'd do a 40

I am allready doing a 40.
I need some extra clearance.
A friend on mine has 35 series on his accord and said just switching to the 35 series has made his car quicker.
Quicker from some $170 tires????? I'll try them out.
The most that will happen is I don't like them or I get another bent wheel.
