My stock rims weight = 24 lbs

Advan RZ 18x8 weight = 17.6 lbs

I think I'm going to like the feeling.

Nevermind. I'm getting them on this Saturday!

Would 235/40/18 tires look meaty enough for 18x8 +45 rims? I like those meaty looking tires. Any suggestions on the tire size?

Thanks!

Yeah, I think I'm going to get 235/40/18. BUT I'm thinking of putting on my stock tires (225/40/18) and wear them out. It still has a lot of thread left on them, so I'm going to try to use them before getting the good tires.

Thanks Anil.

I'm getting them on this Saturday for sure. Already made an arrangement with the seller. We are going to meet up in the middle to do the transaction.

So excited!!!

Yep.

I actually wanted to go with RPF1 17x9 because of the cheaper tire pricing, but I figured I only drive 7000 miles per year.... so I thought it's pretty stupid for me to concern about tire pricing.

I actually have a question for you guys.

How do you cleanly take off these stickers inside the rim? Any good method for them?

Peal them off as best you can and use Goo Gone to remove any adhesive?

Found this link, and he recommends goo gone as the least aggresive method first to avoid damaging the wheel.
