well got these in the mail today, they are 18x7.5 but wondering on tire size, because i will be ordering some Nitto tires in the next couple days for them.

i was thinking 225/40/r18? suggestions would be good.. heres a pic of em, let me know what you guys think.

cherrigton - it was free shipping. oh and sorry by mail i mean... UPS lol.

risen - they were 534$ and some change. i had a different set in mind that were 562$, but the guy called me and told me that before they were going to ship them they looked and they werent worth shipping because they were damaged....

so he emailed me 5 different set of rims to choose from and all of em came with a little bit of cash back, or i could have a full refund, then out of the 5 he sent me those caught my eye. :)

but im also glad cause i like these better then my first choice. :p

Yeah, the 225/40 is the widest recommended size for the 7.5" wheel.
