Anyone have 18*8 wheels?

[DragonReborn214]

I am thinking of getting 18 by 8 wheels. Does anyone have this size on their 240? And if so, how does it ride?

I know west had 18" but I'm not sure if they're 8's or not.
The ride will be a little ruffer (less tire), but you can always compensate with the suspension(especially if you have adjustable coil-overs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> )

I have 18x8 5Zigen Heidfelds they are dope ass rims even though I replaced them.

They are mounted with 235/40/18's which are too big so I need to recalibrate the speedo to match them, but it looks real good, just needed a wider tire for all my power I was putting down.

As for handeling, well.... if I were on some real tires and not the shitty Dunlops W10's I could tell you, but I did have my 17's on for a day and it kicked ass in handeling. I just dont like 18's because a nice tires costs like 300$ a tire.

Mark-
How much did your Dunlops cost? How much will tires cost compared to 17s?

Does anyone have pix of someone with 17s?

I've got 17inch Konig Monsoons. &nbsp;I run Dunlop W-10 205/40ZR17 s. &nbsp;Good tire, not wide enough tho and there is like no sidewall. &nbsp;It looks like I wrapped rubberbands around my rims &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Oh, i forgot.... &nbsp;I paid about $140 a piece for my Dunlops

Well, I just ordered 18 by 8's. Here is the wheel.

do you want it for looks or for performance? &nbsp;if its for looks, go 18x8. &nbsp;but remember, big/wide wheels are heavier so perf. drawbacks.

[DragonReborn214]

The wheels I got weigh 23 pounds each. Do you guys know that stock wheels weigh?

I`ve got 18-8`Mak spirit mate. Couldn`t stand that BOING! feeling when turning hard in my standards. I need a rock hard suspension now too but at least the BOING`s gone.

where or who sells fender flares like the ones on mr. fugitas bomb ass ride? &nbsp;or are they custom?

[TRM02]

non fujita's wheelwells are custom. &nbsp;not really that hard either
