For those of you with 18" rims

Can you post pics of your cars tires? I am trying to decide which size tire I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nice rims. 18x8, the only way to go! I had to get a flat fixed with the 235/40WR-18 Sumitomos, and the dude said WTF is this from, a Corvette?

I have this size, too. My wheels are 18 X 8 SSR integrals (look at emax95). Unfortunately, because the 5th gen is bulky, 18's don't look as big on tires with a profile like this. However, I don't think that I could stand having a smaller side wall.

Yo Genius

235/40-18 is the same diameter as a 215/55-16, that's why they call it +2. Get it?

To those running the 235/40-18's. How do you guys like the ride. Is there enough sidewall there to keep a decent ride.
