Pics of My new wheels

some pics of the 5zigen copse i just picked up, they are 18x7.5 with a 43mm offset (i believe) with falken ZE512 tires size 225/40/R18. i deffinately need to lower it, 2 tires are worn pretty good and the others are questionable, i might go with a 235/45R18 next. i think wheel spacers are needed but im not sure what size to go with, any suggestions?

And yeah i put some air in them after the pics were taken, haha

wow your tires are really undersized. go with a larger aspect ratio (sidewall). your'e one size too small. 18x7.5 is weak and so is the +43 offset. slap on some wide rubber to make up for it. btw, your front psi looks low.

7.5" are gonna be weird with a wide stance. but for perfect flushness, you'd want a +25 effective in the front and about a +20 effective in the rears. you do the math.

the closest that would work best for you would be a 10 or 15mm up front and a 20mm in the rear.

You need some higher profile tires or lower it asap! Also your front passenger tire looks flat. I donno if you get any snow action there, but either way, riding bald is bad.

yeah i got springs on the way, and if you had read my OP, you would see that i had already put air in the after i took the pics, those tires are junk, i rebalanced them at work yesterday and they still shake, its prob a belt in the tire, but i got the whole setup for 400bucks, so im just gunna get some new tires over the winter for the spring.

Only if those were 19's with a 35ET with a mild drop and the car would look very clean. Let's see what they look like with the drop.
