180sxdude

just wondering your opinions on 17s or 18s inch wheels for my car. I have the Eibach 2" drop but I don't want the skinny rubberband tires. I want to have enough cusion to protect my wheels but 240s have a wide wheel well but not a high wheel well. so will 18s fit ok or will they rub under my wheel wells? i want to put 235/45/18 on my wheels? any thoughts or suggestions on what i should do? please send pics if you have 17s or 18s on your car. thanks. i have an SR swap so im not concered about power for the bigger 18s.

From what I have learned:

1. 18s are fine if you just watch the weight (they will be heavy either way)
2. 18s w/ 30-35 offset will work w/ camber
3. I personally would go w/ 17s but w/ a 2'' drop and no camber adjustability 18s maybe a problem. Camber kits are only good for about 1.5 degrees if that.

Find a wheel that you like that is on a 240 then find out what setup that they are running. Most 240s on the board, that have 18s, have +45 offset. It's kinda ghey IMO. So don't skimp and buy a Civic rim. Buy a quality rim that was made for RWD.

If this didn't make any sense its because of the 3 days of damm shoveling snow
