I have a lowered TL (2" front, 1.75" back)
I like thin tires on big rims.
I am purchasing 18" konig tantrums (5X114.3, 18", 45 offset), and want to know what size tires i should get to make it look good. What do you guys think is better: 225/40/18 or 215/40/18??

Well, everyone puts 225/40/18's on their 18" rims, but it's smaller than stock as far as overall diameter.. the best possible size that matches the stock size the best is 215/45/18 though, but there aren't many tire companies that make the tire in that size.
