Default Got some free 18s...

...with tires but the tires that are on it are too big. They came off a Scion xB. They're like 225/40, I think. What size tire do I need for these wheels to work on my car with Neuspeed race springs....

Here's a pic of the one wheel I put on the got stuck in the fender well. When I jacked the car back up, it was still stuck in the fenderwell!!!!

**** if they were free sell them and make cash on the deal. I wasn't trying to be a dick so sry if it came out that way. I'm serious...18's cause problems with lowered cars...the extra weight isn't helping either.

I plan on selling them. Two of them need tires so if I'm going to get some good money out of them, I'll put some new tires on 'em and rock 'em for a little while. I've got camber kits all around so I don't eat through tires.

****, good luck getting 18's on there. i have an ej8 with neuspeed race springs and sold my 17's because they rubbed at stock height much less 2.25'' lower. i have some rubberbands in my desk drawer that might work.... seriously tho probably a 215/35 or 40 if anything, definitely roll the fender and you might have to beat the insides of the front a little bit.

yea just get some 16s at the learst for that clean look. 18 is just a hassle and rolling the fenders is to ghetto. its a good idea and cheap but tacky

225s are wide even on a 15 inch tire. Good luck fitting those wide ***** in there period without rolling your fenders.

When I had 18's on my Civic I ran a 215/35-18 with a 2 inch drop if that helps
