09 TW Sport w/ 18's Confirm
#22
Really..??? I would think that the 215 would be a perfect match for a 7.5 width wheel....... . .Hmm I`m going to be running a 205/35/18 on a 7.5.... . .. I must be asking for trouble

those are some nice looking wheels. I got a set of wheels and tires from edgeracing to 17" enkei evo 6 for a good deal. I saw you live in winston salem. i'm staying in greensboro but work out in winston salem.

We're talking about the GE8 though. Have you seen the stock wheels on the GE8 in person? 16s looks way too small. 17s would look too big on a GD3 IMO.

i sell wheels for a living and if he can fit the 225/40/18 under there, then more power to him. It does not even look awkward. 215/35/18 is such a small profile, and for me, it would be the same 225/40/18 or backing to a 17". Now that is unless i'm running 19's on a RWD car and having a staggered fit on the rear, but thats a different situation.
With all that said, i'm interested to hear if those tires scrub the fenders at all under large bumps or with people/heavy cargo in the rear.

I have 17x7 205/40/17 on my GD3 and they still look a bit lost in the wheel arch, 17s are fine on a GD3. (pictured left)
after reading this thread i will more than likely go 18s on my GE8 when it arrives, i do get a slight bit of scraping in my GD3 with the 17s but thats when im fully loaded with heavy kit bout 400+ kgs when hitting the odd bump in the road

So whats everyones final answer?! 225s' or 215s' on 18 in wheels? I need to know before I purchase wheels and tires. How about a scale wheels and tires 17" and 18". All the different possible sizes that will still fit a fit properly, please?
