Hi everyone, I am thinking about getting new wheels for the summer and have a chance to get 18's but thought they may be too big. What is the largest wheels you have seen on an EG? The tire dimensions are 215 - 35 - 18 and he thinks they are 18x7 but they may be 18x8.5(very unlikely). I would just try them on the car but my brother lives 3 hours away and thought I may ask you guys for some clearance help before making the trek. I dont want to see him if I dont have too. I have an Omnipower setup if it matters but my car is not lowered since I mainly just bought the coilovers because my stock struts went out. Anyways, I appreciate any help you guys might be able to provide!

They'll fit - assuming the car never moves. If you lower it over 1.5 inches you'll be rubbing the outter wheel well, and any time your suspention compresses a good deal at even moderate speed, you'll risk ripping the plastic of the wheel well out. My friend had an eg coupe with an LS lowered 2", with 215/40's on 17x7's he always rubbed the wheel well, and DID have the fronts ripped out a few times. 18's on an eg looks ghetto IMO, 17's look big, and 16's are jsut right for an eg.

i've got 17's 40/215 I wouldn't go bigger, the way it is now, it's almost too high just because i can't lower it to he point the chassis is close to the ground with out the wheels rubbing.

If you want bigger than those wheels/tires you'll want airbags or hydros. I'ts just not enough wheel well for bigger.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I'll probably take everyones advice and pass on the 18'sI do have one anohter question. Is the wheel well deep enough for 17 x 7.5 rims with an offset of +42? Again, I appreciate everyones help on this!
