Couple of question before I buy my new rims
Wednesday, February 23, 2005 7:14 PM
I have found a few I like; questions are:

18x7.5 with a +45 offset and then 215/35 tires...
Will they still tuck nicely with the air ride or should I lower the offset (if so what should it be?) and should I try and find an 18x7?

As for tire size, I know it may not be the "correct" size but I am looking to get the car as low as possible! How much of a side wall is on a 215/35/18?

Doesn't sound like he's interested in either though.

Even with proper sized tires, can't you set the car on the ground with an air-ride system?

215/35/18 are small. I was comparing them to my 45/17s and they were a good 1/2 if not more shorter.

true i have air ride also and i dont see how this would help you get lower. even with a body kit. if you roll the fenders you will be able to tuck.
