ive read the faq on wheel sizing but need help i have a set of enkei s and they are 18" x 7.5 and am wondering what dimenisions i should get the tires just looking for summer tires they dont need to be ultra expenisive just low profile and does any one know if im going to have to cut my fenders or what ill have to do to get these wheels to fit my car is lowered just under 2"s thanks

 

I believe you want 215/40-18 tires (I'm not 100% sure)... even with those, your speedo will be off like 2% (it'll read about 58.5 when you're actually going 60).

And you're probably going to have to roll your rear fenders... I'm not sure what you can do about your fronts (you're probably going to have some rubbing issues around slow turns)... I had my front tire tucked about half an inch last summer, so I can safely say driving with rubbing/scraping issues up front is possible, but it really sucks.

 

ok i dont want to roll them myself so can i just take it to firestone, can they do it what does it mean to have your tire tucked? how much will it cost to have them roll fenders and also the price on tire tuck

 

u'll want 215/40R18 tires. from tirerack under that size, the Kumho Ecsta SPT's are the best price at $108 each. i have those tires on right now and they are great tires in dry and wet conditions, i highly recommend them. whats the offset on the wheels? my guess would be u may have to roll the fenders but im not so sure with the 7th gens.

 

alright thanks ill look into those tires dam i wish i wouldhave gottten smaller wheels to have saved money on tires sheesh hah but here where igot them from i dont know what you mean by offset http://edgeracing.com/wheel/3454/

 

wow, 18's.and i feel like 17's are way too big. [:'(]

 

late bump

 

It's where your car sits low enough (or the springs are compressed enough) that your tire (and sometimes even part of the wheel) actually goes up into the fender a little... look at my avi if you don't understand

 

Google is your friend. If the wheels have the right offset, fitting low-pro tires should be do-able without having to roll your fenders.

 

offset looks to be 45mm i know understand what offset is so what do you guys think that i will have to do wwith this?
