Rims and Rubber Question, Will these fit? Options

[hermo69]

Hey guys,

I know someone here can answer me question.......... will these fit on my car and how will they look in terms of height. Also, how crappy will the ride be? I know nothing bout rims and rubber. Any ifno on this setup would be great!

Enkei RS-6's

Tires are Nitto
215 35 zr18

Thanks

if the rims are 18's

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
