Anyone have a pic(s) of 18" wheels with 225-40-18 tires on a stock or A-Spec suspension? I'm just curious to see what the gap looks like between the fender and tire... I like the look of a 40 series tire, but don't have any plans to drop my car any lower than the A-Spec suspension... at least, not at this time. I still haven't gotten around to installing the suspension yet - been so damn busy. In any case, I'll be getting a new wheel package shortly, and have to figure out whether to get a 40 series or 45 series tire. I prefer the 40 series tire (45 makes the wheel look smaller IMO), but not if the gap is going to make the car still look lifted because of the smaller sidewall. If I have to get a 45 series tire, that pretty much limits my choices down quite a bit, as most summer rubber comes in the 225-40-18 spec.
And while I'm on the subject, if anyone has a pic of 225-45-17 tires on the stock rim, that'd be great... since I'll have tires dedicated for summer and winter, I figure I'll pick up some snow shoes for the stock rims. The OEM tires are so arse. Of course, I've never been a fan of Michelin's... had them on my last ride too, and they don't seem to stick as well as other brands.
Uber thanks --- I know you blokes are always hearing the same posts over and over again, so I don't want to flood the board with repeat questions. I figure, though, that some of you chaps don't mind showing off your whips, eh? ---> realizing that the last sentence can be taken a number of different ways...
