Hey everyone... I am geting some 18x8 wheels for my ride. Finally.. But I have no idea what is the ideal size tire for a really sporty look. I don't want the tires to look too wide for the rim nor too thin or too tall. If anyone has any pics or suggestions that would be much appreciated. There is a pretty good deal on som tires that are 245/35/18.... So If anyone thinks these tires wont look good on 18x8 wheels.. please let me know. Thanks, Marc

a 245 will be too wide, your gunna want to get a 225 40 18 for the best fit
I have to agree with a4drvr.

maybe it will help you.
Furthermore rubbing is not a good thing for tires or any other part of your car.

Thanks guys for the help!!!! Just wanted to make sure I didn't rub on anything that would ruin my car.... I only have stock sport suspension on right now and i don't plan on lowering it yet.. So the tires I was thinking about getting are used with 2000 miles on them and and he only wants $125 for them... So considering my car isn't lowered yet do you think that I will mess up any suspension? I am not worried about ruining the tires cause they are so cheap.. But my car is a concern ...

With your professionalopinion and knowing the offset of the mille miglia wheels... Do you think that these tires will work with my stock sport suspension setup?? Thank You!! Marc
