18's with 15psi ?
well i had a hard enough time with these light *** volk le-37t's, and a small skinny *** tire...no traction at all with my jrsc...am i going to be able to get traction with a 215/35/18 series tire and the 18 inch volks or should i switch to a different size...would 17's be okay with thicker tires, i really dont want to get any smaller wheels.....

sell your turbo, and buy at least 19s and a body kit, and a spoiler, and custom grill, and strobes, and winshield washer nozzles, and , and, and
but seriously, i had trouble with 15s, until i got drag radials. 18's? just buy another set of rims.

Get some 15's with 60 series...run them at like 20 psi and you'll be much better.

agreed im sure someone will have no problem forking over some cash and some 15" Volks for your 18s. Like said before go with the S03s they are damn good tires. The almost stick as well as drag radials.

man, why don't go with 7.5x16 and 225/45 tires. Works way better than shity 225/35/17.
With that small sidewall you will get major wheel hoop.

215/45/17 is kinda big diameter. 624.8 mm diameter. You will get fender problems. Trust me, 16 inch is the best combo of looking and performance.

Well A) you put them on a Honda and B) you presumably do not have a massive brake system, which is the racers reason for going to large wheels. Anything larger than a 16 on a Honda is just going to slow you down and not allow you to get traction. Sell you wheels, get a reasonable sized set of wheels, and put the money into suspension or more power

Big wheels like that are absolutely unnecessary though, and they will only hurt you.
Just because those wheels are expensive they are not rice now? Here I got a set of altezza tail lights I'll sell you for $1200
