nice wheels...
why does your car seem to sit higher? i mean the gap from the tires to the car is bigger than the stock tires. Maybe it's just the way the picture taken?

Why did you not get the right size tires?
Factory 18" is 245/45/18 which is .8 inches taller. That extra inch make quite the difference. BTW those rims look familiar...?

yah, i got the rim idea from chernmax's car... didnt go for them until i found them on ebay for under $400 for a set of 4.... and yes, the kumho's dont come in a 245/45 tire in the 18" size, so i went with the 40 figuring when I do lower it, it'll look better!

Just from experience, those Kumho's wear out really fast. Make sure you keep them rotated to get the max life out of them. They look good!

??Im confused... Even when you lower it you will still have an inch more gap than normal. To each their own... Nice rotors though

I went with 245 40 18s on my tires aswell, chiefly to get better grip. If I get new tires, Id go with 255 40s to get a bit wider footprint and keep the stock tire diameter

The stock size is 245/45/18. Its almost an inch taller than a 40 series
I bought 40 series for my snow tires because they dont make a 45 series runflat. look at the gap!! Its horrible.

18's with a lip probably make your wheels look real small for the car. Its cool if your going for the esse look. "Living la vida loca?
