Well, I'd be running 255/35/18's because I'd want the widest tread possible and my speedo is already off enough because of the tranny swap.

If you rims are 8.5" width rim, I'd go with a 245/40 R18. I got Cham into a 245/35 R19, and he just had to raise his car a little. All and all, he doesn't rub.
well I"m planning to lower my car some more this weekend, so if I went with 245/40 R18, do you think that will rub?
Thank god! Your not doing your HFp kit, ssp's and rims any just by sitting up that high.

well I figured that lowering a little more should be alright since we wont see snow again for awhile.

+2 on potenza re960as pole positions. if youre not interested in those and are lookin for something else, just stay away from goodyear/dunlops. youre car will give you a massage every time you get on the highway
, that is until a tire blows up. i worked for goodyear for almost 4 years and i will never buy one of their products again.

I have a set of Michelin's (forgot what model) on my steelies. They weren't too bad for what I got 'em for. I'll try to find out what kind they are the next time I look at the wheels in my storage space.

I have no clue. I got them back in December 2005. I've probably put 5,000 miles on them since then.

That is fine. The 235/45 R17 approved rim width is from 7.5 to 9.0.

I had to go 265/35/18 so that the tire would not look stretched and for it to look flush with my fenders. I tried 235/40/18 and 255/35/18 and both of those looked stretched towards the car. This might be due to the 9" wide rims. Hopefully the new setup works, I will post pics when done. Ryan, any 235/40 tire should work well. Thien's recommendation is best as he is around tires all day and knows what's good and what's not.
