I'm gonna run 18x9 and plan on tucking rim.

Not sure if I want to do 205/40 or 215/35. Suggestions/Opinions?

*215/35 are a little easier to find in good brands* (Nankang/Falken/Federal/etc)
Not sure if this will help, but these are my 215/40's on my 18x8.75's.

I have the same wheels and same specs.. I ordered 205/40/18s but they are on backorder and its loads easier to find good tires that are 215/40/18s..
Do you like your stretch or do you want a little more stretch?

So anyone.. 205s or 215s? ...40/18 on 18x8.75 +20

I honestly don't know much about stretching, so I was little uncomfortable going less than 215/40. I notice the stretch compared to my old specs, but I'm sure you could run 205/40's without any issues.

Keep in mind that actual tire sizes vary by brand. I have Nittos.

Okay guys I saw some previous posts about 17x9 +15 but you guys didn't give much detail

I got a sedan on ff's now these rims come in 17x9 +15 or 18x9.5 +12 its my daily if that helps, and I wouldn't mind running negative camber cause it looks good on our cars, what's gonna be harder to fit or is it basically the same thing

It's almost the same thing... Only thing that I would think about is how low you want to be, I know you mentioned its your daily.. With 17s you would need to be much lower to achieve that sexy fitment.

Oh and ofcorse you would need to roll/pull your fenders.

I was wondering if a set of 17x9.75 with offset +25 would fit on a sedan?
The tires that come with them are 245/45/17
Would they be way too meaty?? Still havent dropped the car yet

Stop shopping for wheels.... Get coilovers THEN start looking for wheels.

With out being slammed I promise you if you put those wheels on, the car will look stupid.
