hello everyone, i picked up a set of 18" kazera 6 spoke wheels on ebay for $300 shipped last night, i couldn't turn that deal down.

anyways, i know the stock tire size for oem 18s are 235/45/18

i'm trying to eliminate as much of the wheel gap as i can. should i get a bigger tire than that? or would the eibach drop be enough to basically reduce most of the gap.

and i'm still retarded at figuring out what size to get if i want a bigger tire... do i want 240/45/18 or 235/50/18

thanks a lot,
oh and heres what it would look like according to tire rack (plus a photoshop eibach lowering)

Eibach kit will reduce most of the wheel gap.

get a tire size that has the same over all wheel height and get the drop springs... bigger and smaller tires can effect your speedo... keep it close to stock as you can....

discount tires has a tire calculator.... GL

Not exactly what your looking for but here is my I4 Coupe with V6 wheels and Eibach Pro-Kit drop. It's not the best picture, the drop looks better in person. Someday I'll take new / better pictures.
