Not bad lookin ^^^

 

That gap doesnt look any larger than stock to me, do you have a tire size with a sidewall smaller than stock to make the overall size of the wheel equal to a 16 on 225/55?

 

this is how it looks on a 97

 

What size tires are those?

 

If anyone wants my 16" rims let me know. this is in response to cameratoaa. they are in good shape, 90% thread and ill sell them for $550. They have 10 spokes, offset of +50

 

I think the gap can be compensated with running a size larger taller tire for the time being. It might even help with the ride driveability and improve overall feel. Not for handling purposes. This is only a temp fix until you decide on what and how low you want to lower your car. I personally have 19's with Esplier springs and like the overall look without losing the feel too much.

 

The rear tires are 245/45, front is 225/45

 

245/40 will make the larger 18" wheel equal overall to a stock 225/55/16 wheel. Does anyone have 245/40/18's on their car??

 

Im looking for the 5 spoke ones, that look like the TT wheels, but in silver. But seeing these recent pictures on here makes me think stock suspension will be fine, I think the first people had too short of a sidewall on their tires.

 

fo'sho ... ya boy is checking in sitting real tuff on 18" stock

 

Ya'boy!!..............

 

245/45 all around on 18 x 8 " wheels.

 

I just did an online tire size calculator and to get a match (within .1% difference) I need to use 245/40-18. is a side wall of 40 going to be too short and look like a 4x4? The overall diameter would be the same.

 

My only problem with 19's and 20's are the pathetic looking rotors behind them, unless you do a BBK on all fours. Also, 19 tires will be more expensive since they are a less common size, something to think about. Although I do agree with you, 19's do fill out better, but for practical purposes, I think 18's are the easiest way to go and look great, plus you dont have to worry about rolling fenders.
