My buddy is planning to put 18's on his ride. We're afraid they won't fit. Should he get coilovers or springs?

 

Essentially, you are closing the gap between the wheel and the fender. Right? With 18" rollers, you are not really allowing (your friend) to lower his car as much as he probably thinks he can. There may be some clearance issues to resolve, especially with the suspension, and wheel offset.

 

yes they'll fit. get 225/40/18 tires. i have those tires and i am dropped about 2.5". you cannot put people in your backseat. i had like a 100 lb girl in my backseat and it made me rub goin around turns. and if you have a kit i hope its urethane. you wont have wheel gap at all. just get them. make sure the offset is right. i dont know what it should be. dont know what mine it but they fit good. Konig Verdicts if you wanna see if you find what the offset is

 

wassup, i got Racing Harts C5's 18 inch. It fit wit 225/40 tires. The only thing that's different is my car is not dropped yets. I don't know if i get the Eibach pro kit (1.5 drop) will effect my camber or alignment.

 

I got 18x7.5 w/ 215 40 on my '98 sedan w/ circuit pro coil overs lowered all the way in front. I have no rubbing at all , even w/ my car packed!

 

I put a set of 18's on my integra just to see how it would look, and I was like Don't do it.

 

this aint the appearance forum yos. wrongplace to post. destroy it SOHC.

 

I have a 98 sedan and just put Axis se7en's 18 x 7.5 with 42 offset. They fit with a very slight protrusion on the front wheels. I will need to make some camber adjustments when I lower the car to get the front wheels to tuck. If you buy 18's with a larger offset (44 or 45) you shouldn't have a problem.
