QUOTE(DJMC_Celica @ Jan 4, 2005 - 3:10 PM) what about 215/40/18? Well i am thinking the 40. What do you mean by Offset? [right][snapback]229943[/snapback][/right] With 215/40/18, your diameter will be .9" larger than stock, so you'll be goign 62.2 mph when your speedometer says your going 60 mph. You may rub, but I'm not sure. And do a search on offset. You'll find what you'll need, as it's been covered many times before. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Just do more searching on here and on Google and other sites. It's been covered a lot, and offset basically affects how far your wheel sticks out.

[right][snapback]229966[/snapback][/right] You probably should, because rubbing sucks. But it's your car... And yes, 40-series tires will make the ride slightly better. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Have you been actually reading this post? The pros and cons of the different-sized tires have been stated above. I'd go with 215/35/18.

QUOTE(DJMC_Celica @ Jan 4, 2005 - 2:23 PM) To be quite honest, im not sure the width, but would the 225 235 fit in my wheel well? [right][snapback]229903[/snapback][/right] ok a 225 35 18 works good on 18x8 your speedo wont change 215/35/18 works good on 18x7 to 18x7.5 min change .5-1 mph faster 225/40/18 best protection 1-2 mph change slower -------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte

I'd probably do a 225/40 for ease of ride and make it look better. Your speedo wont be too far off, nothing super bad. Also if you have a smaller offset (40 and above) then you'll be fine. I have 225/35/19's on the front of my car with a 35mm offset and I dont rub with a drop!!! So 40's should be just fine.

Ok I have 215/35/18s. I dont like them because I want 225/40s. But like Coomer said its nice having an accurate speedo - except I did the mathematical calculations to come to that conclusion. Weird since the 18's are so much larger than the 15's.
I'd go with a 40 series tire - 35 provides little protection. -------------------- |
