I'm thinking of changing rims on my TL-S to 18's and going with 235/40 tires so that the speedometer won't be off. I want to do this WITHOUT lowering the car (I think). I was wondering if anyone has this setup and if so if they could post a shot (hopefully a full side view)? Thanks in advance...

Just curious if this will look okay. I know most of you who are running 18's probably have also dropped their cars a bit. With 235/40 tires the actual diameter of the wheel/tire is the same as the stock 215/50-17. Anyway, can someone reassure me that this will look good without a drop? Thanks...

 

no

 

I kind of thought that but wasn't sure why if the overall diameter is the same. Guess it's because there is too little tire and too much wheel gap?...

 

 

Thanks. Probably was a dumb question. Now I know why nobody posted any pics - it doesn't look good so no one does it...
