ok i have another question. I am looking at katana destiny wheels now. But i am looking for wheel and tire packages. The thing is alot of the tires sizes are different then what tire rack recommends. Does that matter as long as the wheel is the right size?
like tire rack recommends 215-40-18 but some of the sizes i see are 225/40/18 ,225/35/18

and also is it possible that these rims are almost universal b\c on the auctions and stuff they say it fits:
Bolt Pattern
Most 4 & 5 lugs CARS, 4x100, 4x114, 5x100, 5x114, etc
and the 5X114 is what i need.

you need a 225/40/18 tire. and theres no way a rim can have 4 bolt patterns on it..

225 with give you a little more tire on the road(more width on the tire) and a 40 series tire rides better(road bumps aren't as harsh) than a 35 and there is less chance of bending your wheel with a higher series tire(more tire to cushion the wheel)
