18" tire and max tire size

OK, I know use the search feature, blah blah blah... I'm lazy and dont' want to read all the fluff, yes I said fluff. If I want fluff I'd become an x-Rated porn star, LMAO

So, what is the max size for new 18"shoes?? No rubbage, I'll ask her to do that.

Eighteens

I run on 18x7.5 42ET with 215/35 rubber. No rubbing with stock suspension. Maybe if you have a 45ET you can drop it with no rubbing.


PM if you are interested in them. They are on sale.

Those look really good on that car, I'm thinking a set like that for mine will work out while I still don't want to lower it. Does a wheel that size affect your MPG any and if so by how much?

I have LE37's 18x7.5 with a 40 offset with a 215/35 along with T1R springs. I only rub when I have 4 people and hit a hard bump. I do though have rolled fenders!

as Dane Cook would say, thats bamf. the offset and width is more important than size as far as fitment usually

It doesn't affect MPG that much. I want to say the most 2 MPGs. The wheel gap is about 2 and 1/2 fingers, give or take a 1/2 a finger. With 35 series tires, it looks a lot more. With my 15s it looks fine. I think with thin tires, the wheel gap makes it more apparent. My fenders are rolled too, so I am thinking about dropping it as well.
