If you are on Eibach springs with 18" rims please chime in.

I am running on the Eibach Pro Kit Springs and just got some new 18"x7.5" rims.

To those running this setup, what tires do you use don't rub on un-rolled fenders?

what offset are the wheels. You should be fine without rubbing. i am running 18 x 8.5 52 mm offset with 235 tires and dont rub. I am dropped 1.8-2 inches.

are your fenders rolled though?

What offset? Im not on Eibachs, but dropped lower then Eibachs on 18x8 48mm with 235/40-18 (the correct tire size BTW) I didnt rub.

With a 7.5" wide wheel, I don't see why you couldnt run as low as a 45mm offset and still not rub.

are your fenders rolled? What are the exact tires?

No, when I had the Legends they were not rolled. They were Yokohama S.Drives. This would be much easier if you tell us the offset.

42 offset

what about maybe 215/45ZR18 93W RD

civicdrivr

You wheels are about 1.5mm further out then my old Legends which were 18x8 48mm offset.

The 215/45 tire will be about 4mm taller then the 235/40 tires, so your speedo will read low. Id suggest running the 235/40s and getting the fenders rolled if you need to, but I doubt you would. 1.5mm isn't a whole lot, especially since youre not that low.

Nope my Speedo will still be perfect because the diameter of these tires are the same diameter as the stock tires our cars come with

^What tires?

happyboy

I was on Eibachs and running the A-spec 8.5 in wide wheel with Bridgestone RE 050s 225/45-18. Got a "whee" rub on rear if I had 4 in the car, and people in back were large. Other than that, no issues.

you can run thes wheels with 225/40/18 tire without the problem but 235/40 may rub as my tire does

StreetKA

215/45 thats that means 45% of 215mm is the tire height (96,75mm)

235/40 same math - 40% of 235mm is (94mm) about the same as above

thats why i suggest 225/40 more sportier look (90mm of height)

235/40 tire is good for many bump patholes road but in your area im sure you'll be fine with 225/40

i choose 235/40 bc i drive alot in NJ/NY area and i already destroyed a set of nice potenzas a while back

Comptech springs + 18x8 wheels 40 offset + no rolled fenders + 235-40-18 tire will rub in the back. Rolling the fenders and dropping the tire to 225-40-18 causes no rubbing at all even on the worst bumps.

96mm and 94mm are not the overall height of the tire, its the height of the sidewall. You have to multiply it by 2, because the sidewall at the ground is 96mm and the sidewall at the top of the wheel is 96mm (192mm total vs 188mm for the 235/40s).

Why did you drop down to the 225? I have rolled fenders now and with my 19x8.5 40mm RJs and 235/35 tires I didnt rub, and the wheels Im on now dont rub either (18x8.5 42mm 235/40).

Let me clarify, im getting these:



http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/proxes-4

I'm going to get them in the 215/45ZR18 size because their diameter is the same as our stock michelins.

It will be PERFECT

disgruntlednut

Don't know why, but even with the rolled fenders the 235/40/18 would rub when hitting bigger bumps and dips. Now that I think back, I probably could have rolled the fenders in a little bit more and it should've worked.

disgruntlednut

I'd still say 235/40/18 on those wheels would be a better pick. Still close enough to stock diameter to not make a difference on speedo or mileage but gives you a wider tire for better handling and traction.

Yeah but i'm going with this size because i don't want to have to roll my fenders....

btw, I had 18x8 with +48 on 225/40/18 tires and I rubbed a little in the back when people sit back there going over large bumps quickly.

anyone else?

Kracker30024

Got mine put on a week or so ago( Springs ) and i have 235/45/R18, no rubbing yet. Shuld i roll the fenders just to be on the safe side? I drive a lot back and forth from college.

Drive in them first and see if it rubs. If its fine then dont mess with it. You might rub on big bumps or if the car is loaded down though.
