Im running 225/35/18's on my 18 inch rims. My car is lowered with tein spirings 1.4F and 1.3 rear. Right now whenver I go on big bumps or pot holes, I hear a loud noice in the car. Im thinking its the tires, since they are 35's ( Car runs fine on stock tires)... Is anyone else having a similar problem? if i chang my tires to 40 would it make a difference??? Also another related question is would a 225 45 18 fit on the RSX with 18 inch rims?


thanks

 

could it be ur shocks since u r on springs? whats the offset of ur rims? im on 18x8 + 40 with 225 40 18 and no problems at all.

thanks</TD></TR></TABLE>that may be a problem
it could be a litter too large for that drop
i do not know for sure
but i have 225/45/17, adding another inch to it would be too risky on my part
although i'm on sportlines
wouldn't be worth the risk

 

hi, thanks for the input guys, Im running 18 X 8.5 on a 42 offset. Maybe its the shocks cause they are stock, but I only had the springs on for about a year and the car has 53000 miles, so I don't know if the shocks would go bad that quick unless they don't respond to tein springs that well to begin with. I was thinking it were the tires cause the profile is way too low 35. usually its the setup for 19 inch wheels.

 

I can pretty much guarantee that your OEM shocks are done. Plus, you have, more than likely, heavy 18" wheels on there. Both will contribute to a crappy ride because your shocks aren't up to controlling the springrate.

 

hi, i ve got axis Hiro rims on my car.. they rn't too heave probably 22 lbs each.....
maybe ur right about the shocks..

thanks
