??Tires??

i have Konig Tatrum wheels and i need tires for them...what size tires should i get? i already lowered my car so i want to keep it low but i dont want super thin tires either? as of now i have 255/55/18 tires but they are too big. they rub against the wheel well.

Tantrum wheel specs:
18x7.5
45mm offset


i dont know much about tires except that the ones i have right now are too big.

yea, 255/55 seems like they would be. i have 235/40/18 and they seem to be just right. i had 215/35 on my old car and they were to small to were the ride was to ruff. look into it and your best bet might be 235/40

235/40/18 is the "perfect" size for our cars... 245/40/18's work better IMO and is what i would recomend IF u had an 8 inch rim, as they give better traction and ride on bad roads. Thinking about that, u sure u have 255's on a 7.5 inch rim???
