What size tires are you running with 18's?
Just curious, I have Kumho Exsta's 225 40R-18. I have 18's Mille Miglia rims. Wondering if I could go with more of a tire if you know what I mean. This tire was recommended to me when I had the rims put on from America's Tire Store. The ride is just so harsh. I know some of this is due to the drop, but these tires have got to go.

for summer i have toyo, fz4 235/40/18, going to to get 245 when these are through,
as for as big as you can go, a while back in the tire forum, I think there was one guy running 255/50/18 on a 5th gen w no problems

Depending on the width, offset of your wheels, and amount of drop, you should easily be able to go with 235/45-18 or stretch it to 245/40-18 (need an 8" wide wheel). Both of these are almost exactly the same diameter as the stock tire size so there will be no spedo error. Your 225/40-18 are over a 1/2 smaller in diameter than stock so your speedo is prob. off a couple mph +.

40 is the ratio (i.e. 40% of the width, i.e. 245 x .40 = sidewall height)
by the way, in the context you're using it, it's "illiterate". "alliterate" is a verb that has a different meaning. Sorry, couldn't stand the irony of that!
