I was wondering if there was any severe rubbing issues with the tires with the H&R springs and 18x8 rims setup? Otherwise, I will start looking for 17" rims instead. If anyone has had any experiences with that setup please let me know. How did it effect your car as far as daily driving went?

 

I had 17x8s with hrs and had only rubbing at full lock with 245/45/17 tires

 

18's are very large rims for a 4th. I think 17's are about right if you have a choice.

 

Fo real?

I would think with 18s yes, but with 17s I wdnt think so

 

it all depends on the tire your planning on running

im on k sports which i think is a good drop and i dont rub at all

 

I dont know, I have 18x7 rims on my car with H&R, 235/40-18. No rubbing issues at all. The off-set has to be correct.

 

The TIRE diameter won't change, so the question makes no sense. What is the off set and intended TIRE size?

 

The tire diamter would change if you got a really high aspect ratio. Lets say you have 17in rims your going to put on your 4th gen. The factory spec tire is 205 65r15. So with the 17in rim and a 235 wide tire you would need to get a 45 aspect ratio to keep the rolling diameter the same. So lets say instead you got a 235 65r17 tire. When your speedo says you are going 60mph you would actually be going about 68mph

 

naw i did some research and Pirate is running much wider tires.

235/40 - 18 is cool for no rubbing per townfairtire

 

you shouldnt have a problem. H&R is still high.

 

Need more info on the wheels/tires.

Offset and tire size?

 

run 235 40 18 tires and you'll be just fine.

 

18's are not very large. smh.

to OP, i don't rub with my 18 x 8 +43's dumped on coilovers on 215/40's...you should be fine with a 225 on an h&r drop.

 

i don't understand how i tuck tire on 18's yet people who drop an inch or two worry about rubbing...*sigh*.

 

 

Go witj 18s your not gknna be rubbing with springs unless you get 22's
