Yeah, those should fit fine and look great, I've always loved the way the RS-6s look. I think that's going to be your best tire size choice if you want 18s

Similar question--I'm looking at some 205/40/17 wheels, but I want tires with a smaller sidewall length. Will this fit? Is this safe?

If I'm thinking right, it would give me a more aggressive look, by showing more wheel and less tire, but I could be wrong.

Thanks,

If my maths is right, the 215/35s will have the smaller profile (sidewall length):

35% of 215 = 75.25 mm

40% of 205 = 82 mm

The only prob I can see with a lower profile is there is less protection for your rims if you hit potholes, curbs etc - don't have 18s myself, but this is what I've read on the forums smile.gif
