Don't look at pics of SE37's then.

oh my god too late... lol I'm torn between this meshy, spider web look. .. and a wheel with more space in between. Like this

Looking for new tires:

Hankook Ventus 12
BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp-2
Bridgestone Potenza RE760
Yokohama S.drive (had these previously, gripped well, fuel economy not great, then they started to howl)

Buying either 215/45 or 225/40 R18

I personally had the bridgestone potenza re760. It gripped like no other. It had a very quiet ride to it. As for wear, I had it for 10k miles before I sold them with my volks, but it still had roughly 7-8/32nd of treats left. Does real great on dry pavement. Fairly well in wet conditions, but snow its horrible.

Might be worth a shot, all them tires are around the same price. RE760 was my second choice when I got S.Drive. I got a deal on the S.drive at the time so it was good.

If you are looking for an affordable summer tire that offers great grip and a nice comfy smooth ride, the RE760 are the way to go. My buddy just got a set for his TL. 235/35 R19 on Ron Jon Vegas. 19x8.5 and he loves those tires.

The current price I can get is 803 out the door (in Ontario) with our tax and tire fees.

US price is ~600 + border tax + mounting + going to USA to get it...

EDIT: Costco.ca sells for ~720 out the door. Best deal by far 

215/45/R18

Ok, newb question lol. Tire numbers confuse the heck out of me, offset etc...I need to have someone explain it to me at some point. But for now, i'm stuck on the Bronze Tsw's, i think i'm going to go with those, but my question is, with a 1.8 drop, what's the biggest tire size I could go? I really like Dreamin's setup, and I'd love to have my wheels that flush someday. But I think 19's are too big. Should I go 18?

A little confusing, so you picked the style you want.

First decide between 18 or 19"
Then you pick the width + offset of the wheel
Then you can pick your tire width and sidewall size

example

Picking 18"x8" means you could do at most width a 245/40 R18 tire

Going wider wheel and narrower tire allows you to be more flush without rubbing.

Offset around 30-35 is pretty good range for coupe

Thanks! Didn't mean to be confusing, i'm having a hard time with the measurements because i'm a visual person. I just have to stop by a patient tire shop and see it to learn it. That info helps though thank you!

Play around with this, I found this to be the best when understanding how stuff works. Doesn't really work for stretched tires though.

Looking at getting these for my coupe:

Drag DR-38 in Gloss Black with Blue Undercut; 18x8, +35 offset (There is also a +47 offset available)
I will be transferring my current tires (225/40-18) over as they all have good tread left (Hankook Ventus V4-ES)

I don't anticipate any fitment issues or tire stretching, but this is not my area of expertise.  Thoughts?

[timot_one]

Sure. They'll fit.

Thanks Tim!

My tires are all installed on the wheels, I noticed the inner side of where the wheel and tire meet, the wheel pokes out from the tire.  But if you look at the spoke side, it is flush with the wheel.

Is it normal that one side sticks compared to the other? It is preventing me from stacking the tires without the rims hitting each other
