    You have to give us the offset of the wheels, that determins if they are going to rub anything.

    Discount Tire's ebay store often has tires for half the price of the store and it includes free shipping. Here are the 225/40-18 available now in sets of 4.

    Falken is a reputable brand. I've got no idea why they are priced the way they are.

    Last fall I bought a set of winter tires for 360 shipped even though tires.com (the same company's website!) had them for just under 800 shipped. I brought them and the wheels to the local Discount Tire for mounting and balancing ($80) and the manager said he buys his tires on the ebay site too since it is better than his discount.

    I seach by size and quantity of 4 then sort by price. Then check tire rack or epinions for reviews on the ones I like. The end result is great value.
