+35 because I don't think it's worth spending money on something that is going to fit so much like the stock wheels. I wouldn't personally buy 8" either.

MachV- I know this isnt a pic thread forum but ive been getting a lot of request to see these (RPF1's 18x9.5 et38 )these wheels are mounted on 255/35R18 re11's. hope these pictures help the group. remember this setup is on stock suspension and still requires a Rear fender roll

Alright, I read through about 50 pages of this thread.. including the first page lol.
I just want someone to confirm that I've understood everything correctly. The wheels I'm looking at is 18 x 9.5 +38 and I'll be stock suspension & height. the tires that seems to be recommended is 265/35 because 0.2% shorter ( http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp ) however, as most have mentioned... I need to get the rear fenders rolled The only disadvantage from doing this is creating more rotational mass? So slower accer/decel and fuel economy? http://www.w8ji.com/rotating_mass_acceleration.htm http://www.caranddriver.com/features...d-tires-tested |

And if its shorter than stock, you'll get faster acceleration, better turn in response from the shorter sidewalls. |

Just for other people, tramlining means "vehicle's tendency to follow the longitudinal ruts and/or grooves in the road." (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=47) This is a DD and I want it to look nice without sacrificing DD qualities. Coilovers doesn't seem like a good match for me because of the super stiff spring rates and loss of suspension travel. Would a Spring/Strut combo be the best way to retain most of the ride comfort and street road capabilities? Or would lowering springs be the simplest to get it how i want it? |

Not all coils are going to give a harsh ride at all. it depends on spring rates and damping mostly i have some tanabe sus-tec pro street coils that are super soft and comfortable but not bouncy, they are 4K nd 5K spring rates with helper springs |

I need some opinions for my future setup. Im looking at a wheel thats 18 x 9.5 +34 and i want to put a 265/35 tire on it to keep the speedometer close to stock. Im lowered on bc coils about an inch around. Would i be able to run this tire with no rubbing after a roll in the rears? I don't want to do any fender mods to the front. help?
