i have a set of 18's im trying to get on my car, the current tires (r18/40/225's) dont fit on the front due to scrubbing on the craddle the springs sit in.

those of you with 18's and have your car lowered what tires do u have?

hopefully a r18/35/225 would fit ?

I had the same issue, was running an 18x45x225. I heated the bottom of the spring cup up with an oxy torch (welder) and gave it a couple of hits with a hammer to move it up. Worked a treat

hey mell i enquired about 18s for my car most places said they go straight on, a few people said u might need a spacer or somthing like that i cant remember what they called it.

i sugest you bring the rims to a tyre place like (tyre power) or your preference they may know what to do.

or ask travis tcgpx he has 18s on his car and dosnt have problems
