[00oldsalero]

[sleepyalero]

Black with polish or chrome lip. Im not a fan of all black rims cause it looks like spare tires from a distance. ;)

[00oldsalero]

[sleepyalero]

[BoarderTy]

1, 2, or 3. all look good

[kwhauck]

#4.....

[guiguilandry]

3 or 4 but 4 is better

[cherrington17]

agreed. 4.

[whiterider00]

indeed. 4

[Chris2000]

Need photoshop of 4 or 5 on the car. If 4 was darker like 5 rather than gunmetal they would be the obvious choice but I love the look of 5 especially the curves of the spokes. Just use white rider's avatar to see how nice dark rims look on a white car and then kind of picture how yours would look with 5. I'd pick 5 over 4..but def one of the two.

[sleepyalero]

Tough to decide between 3,4,5 lol... id have to say 4.

[Cliff8928]

I would say 3 on a sedan, 4 on a coupe.

[Ttop191]

#4 for sure...

[slownlow43]

1, 2, or 3. all look good

This. Between those 3, #2 looks best to me.

[Alerojester]

i say 4

[00oldsalero]

thanks everyone another thing rec tire size is 225 45 r 17 that sound right plus my suspesion is all stock so i wont need to worry about anything rubing right

[Ttop191]

nope won't rub, but be prepared to be bitched at for not being lowered haha

[Cliff8928]

You can actually go 235/45R17 if you wanted, depending on the width of the wheel... That's what I run.

[sleepyalero]

Don't want to make another thread, what size tire could I run on an 18x8 wheel?

#4.....

x2

[Cliff8928]

245/35R18 would be the widest recommended size for the 8"

[sleepyalero]

Thanks cliff. 35 is really small profile isn't it? Any way i can get it bigger or will it rub?

[Lucalare]

Depends on the width, a 245/35 has much more tread height than something like a 225/35 would.

[sleepyalero]

True but the rims im getting at the end of The month are 18x8s and I just want the thickkest tires on em I can fit so I have a smaller chance of denting or something if I hit a pot hole.

[Cliff8928]

Thanks cliff. 35 is really small profile isn't it? Any way i can get it bigger or will it rub?

"35" is a percentage of the section width (245mm). So the wider the tire, the taller the sidewall if the aspect ration stays the same.

[sleepyalero]

Oh Okay 2 more questions..

Will 18x8 rims fit fine? I Just need to make sure.

Can I get away with 245/40/r18?

1. depends on the offset

2. most likely

[sleepyalero]

Offset is +35mm. Same offset as the american racing estrellas I have on the car now.

[kwhauck]

Yeah those should fit fine....

[sleepyalero]

Cool thank you

[Redog]

I was looking at the Focal F09's too.

Sleepy Nate, You're looking at 225/40/18's on 18X8
