Gettin Axis Ne-o wheels 18x8's. What tires n what size??
 
Sup. need some recommendations on tire size on for some 18x8s - Axis Ne-os. I was thinking Nitto Neo Gen brand as far as the "Neo" theme is concerned. Brand and mesurement recommendations please. I plan on gettin the Eibach Pro-Kit springs all together as well. Thanks yall.

235/40/18 or 245/40/18.

235/40/18 is recommended. which, thankfully, nitto doesn't make in their NEO line.

Thanks! I take it my mentioning for tires such as the Nitto Neo Gen will perform just fine i hope... please advise of any other recommendations. Thanks again.

Coulds sworn i saw Nitto - nt neo gen tires however they dont seem to give the low profile look..im now thinking of the nitto - nt 555 tires, more stealth like appearance.

nevermind i know what ya mean then dont make NEOs in that "size"... :::slaps himself::::

well, considering you live in florida, you don't have to worry about all season tires. but you do need to be concerned with rain. i haven't heard great things about nitto tires in anything but dry weather.

Hmm thanks didnt think about that. Apparantly i should still want the car in one piece, regarless of how nice the tires would look. What would u recommend with a low profile appearance??

I had Nittos 450s and 555s. They performed pretty good in rain for me. I like their stiff sidewall. Noisy tires though.

Falken 115s were lot stickier and quieter than my Nittos. Softer sidewall though and treadlife isn't the best

Yup sounds like ill be gettin 555s - 235/40/18. You know with these pothole streets in miami, im afraid to get Eibach sportline springs. I should be safe with the Pro-kit instead front 1.3 - rear 1.0. Dont ya think.

I used to be a big fan of Nitto's but I recently bought some BF Goodrich KDW2's and I swear these are the best tires Ive ever ridden on and their not real expensive.
They grip excellent on dry pavement and do really well in the rain as well.
Unfortunalty they do not come in 235/40/18 but are available in 225/40/18 or 235/45/18

Axis Ne-0 doesn't come in 18s...either 17 or 19 only.
