I am about to pull the trigger on these but do not want to roll any fenders ...the size I want is 18 x 7.5..has anyone tried this size yet? I will also be putting on h& R sport wheels as well...will I have any rubbing issues with a 18 x 7.5 on 225/ 40/ 18 tires/ wheel combo?

^^ you'll have no rubbing issues with HR springs.

18x7.5????

I'd never run a smaller rim that the OEM width

liwanra

What would happen?

GeeteeDan

iTrader: (4)

18x8.75 would be a lot better in either the +20 or +33

liwanra

thanks.. which sticks out less with H&R sport springs +33 or +20...new to all this and have read most of the posts but head is spinning. I do not want to do anything to my fenders and do a lot of driving and I need my tires to last

GeeteeDan

iTrader: (4)

Factory wheels are +45 so the +33 would sit closer to where the factory wheels sit. +20 is just about flush with the fender

liwanra

Thanks much appreciated

What did you do with your old set of wheels? Happen to still have them?

I am bone stock, just ordered XXR530's 18x8.75 with 20mm offset and 225/40R18 I got lug nuts, the place I am getting them installed at are covering the valve stems, but do I need Hub rings? never done this so I don't know what all I need

yoks032rs

^^ yes you do 64.1 hub rings.

GeeteeDan

iTrader: (4)

They were picked up about an hour after I got them switched.
73.1 to 64.1 hub rings

Thank you guys! One more question does anybody know of someone that does custom colored badges? I wan my car all black with gold badges, lug nuts, and brake calipers!

story.customz

Just remove them and paint them gold. Probably a lot cheaper

jlonn

Just spray paint em?

Just got my Matte Black 530's! 18x8.75+20, cant wait to put them on loving the concave, they look so nice in person! Now just got to shop for some tires.

Lancey08tl

Are you lowered

story.customz

Sick! you going with 225s?

unpro

my tire shop told me not to go with 225, in fact, "stay away"..

I think I am going with 235/40/18. There are a ton of pot holes in the city where I live.

Why is 225 stretch so popular here?

pohljm

Congratulations! You ordered just the right amount of holes!

story.customz

Which tire shop?

And 225 is popular because you can go lower with it and avoid rubbing after modifying your fenders. Not much of a stretch though

yes, on Coilovers.

Yeah 225/40's

Thanks. .. My friend forced me to get the single drilled haha.

Never thought I would buy Xxr wheels, I had Advan wheels, 2 sets of Volk TE37s on my old ride RSX. Now im on a Budget haha.

Heres a Teaser pic with the rim on. Love the combo!

PrimeTiime

Love the lime green brake calipers. The contrast with the black rims is SICK!

I think my favorite color combos are that and Teal with the black rims. If it wasent so expensive to Powder coat my calipers I would have definitly done the same.

just paint them...i'm painting my calipers from white to teal this weekend. $7 for a can of high temp clear spray paint and $3 for a can of teal spray paint (well satin lagoon, like ebelp and rockstar)...going with the color change so it matches better with the project mu lug locks i just got

unpro

Let's just say a local shop in Etobicoke, across from a popular bakery.

With 235/40/18 I cannot go much lower in the future? I am stock riding right now.

Stock tires are 17x8 with 235/45. The new wheels will be wider than stock, and 225 would be narrower than stock.

I am about to make my purchase.. so confused on what I wanna go with

NerdO_TL

iTrader: (1)

Thanks, yeah Teal is nice but wanted something different that nobody has. These are not powder coated, Just spray painted

Yup! Just get a scuff pad and suff them up, no sand paper, 1 can of high temp paint, 1 high temp clear gloss paint and Brembo decals and your set!

225 tires are spec'd to go on a tire 9" wide or less. They have a mild stretch when put on the 8.75" xxrs. I had 235 tires on my +20 wheels and I rubbed on the front driver side on road dips...at only about 1.5" lowered (which is not much by lowering standards) and all four fenders rolled. I just changed them out to 225 tires and no rubbing. Bout to drop another .25 to .50" this weekend.

Just save yourself the hassle and get 225 tires

unpro

thanks for the information sockr1, I didn't know that and I most likely will be going for 225/40 now.

what's a good value tire? I am looking at Falken 453 or 452s, but I would consider other brands but don't know what else is good and cheapish. I am worried about paying for brand new tires that slip on wet roads and/or make a lot of noise.

Hankook V12 or the General tire that took the place of the UHP.
