Yeah, think that pretty much sold me on 245/40R18's when the time comes... Unless of course I can get away with 255/35's with minimal fender work..

I think I'm just going to go for the 245/40/18 instead of the 235/40/18 tires; the 245s look too damn nice. I can deal with some rubbing for a while before I get rolled.

[quote=jayson2k2;36401858]here are some older random pics from the past summer. im running 18x9.5 +38 grids with bc racing coils, all fenders rolled w/ slight pull, and 5mm spacers for the front to clear brembos.

u can see the tires a little better in these pics.

Probably going to depend on tires and how low you go on those coilovers.

Yea.
I dont really see why not.
People Fit 18x9.5 Linea corse lemans with an 30 offset on their hatches.

I would probably slap on some 235's.
small chance of 225's.

I'm about to pick up the new Enkei Raijins, 18x8 +45 with 235/40R18 rubber and Swift springs all in 1 shot. I'm lining up the purchase with my 30,000 mile maintenance, and if a roll is needed, just get it done at the same shop.

Think I will? I'll put up pictures once it's done. I just can't for the life of me decide on a color. Some days I'm black, other days I'm silver. On a DGM hatch, both have their moments.

Do you have any pictures of an 08-2010 on 18x9.5 +30 LeMans? I'm interested to see what that looks like.

You definitely won't have to get a roll. I have springs that drop me the same amount as the Swifts and I have 18x8.5 +44 wheels with 225/40/18 tires and there's a ton of room; I'm going to switch up to 245/40 soon and I'll probably need a rear roll at that point.

Wow, our rides are very similar. I have 17x8 DR-38's that look very similar to your wheels. I was told they were +47 offset but when I got them they said et40 stamped on the wheel.

My roof rack is in the mail but I am getting OEM bars and a INNO fairing

Nice, that's the exact setup I'll be running; good to know I won't need a roll. Thanks for the pics.

Hey guys, I've got an 08 with stock suspension. I'm not looking to go crazy with a super aggressive fitment. What wheel/tire size would funtion the best without having to roll my fenders and still look good?

^aggressive wheel/tire fitment does not go hand in hand with stock suspension.

might as well post this here as well:

so I'm assuming you have stock suspension? Would I be fine with 18x8? what about 18x8.5. I know I'd have to roll for 18x9 but haven't found anything about narrower wheels.

I do have stock suspension. I can't speak to the 18's. I was basing my post off of your original comments about a relatively conservative fitment.
