Please Help buying a-spec wheels
Guys,
Im about to buy this set from this guy it a-spec wheels 18x8 that come with this tires size 225/45ZR/18. My question is does this tires size messup my stock suspension because factory recomended 235/40/18 if it's 18inch rims. Thanks

there is a diameter difference of 2.5 %, which can affect the speedo pretty good. if you are going 60MPH according to speedo, with this tire you will be actually traveling at 58 MPH

the 17" rim is equipped with 235/45 tire, so that puts your wheel/tire total height at 25.37 inches. going with a 18" rim with 225/45 (225? - you sure?), that puts the total ride height at 25.97", just a bit taller than the original, but you would actually sit only about .35" higher than stock, which is not much. <---- i believe this is correct, if im wrong, please correct!
