should i do it?

18inch 7.5width Enkei EV5 38mm offset wheels with Nexen tires (215/35/18) fit well/give me a good ride? should i go with a larger tire? i really dont want to get 20's because i dont want to get into any camber issues or my car or have a rough ride, I can get my hands on a set and am wondering if i should do it.

If I'm not mistaken the correct tire size on an 18 for your car is 235/40/18 ... the one your suggesting has a diameter of 23.9" where the correct one is 25.4".

Your speedo will be off by 5.8% slow.

A) Tires are too small
B) If your talking about the Axis Shines .. not even close and the 20 holes look terrible.

No, you shouldn't get wheels narrower than x8.

I wouldn't. Too narrow. Just because it's a good deal doesn't mean you have to hop on it. Just my of course

i think u should get something wider with a wider tires too.
it might be a good deal but its a downgrade if u ask me.
spend a lil more money and get it right.
