Im looking at wheels right now, uncle same just gave me 6k back so i booked vacay's and gettin some wheels.

Rims im lookin at are
18x7.5 w offset42

Suugested tire size on the site says 215/35 will 225/40 rub?

 

no, they should'nt rub, r u slammed or something?

 

get 225/40.
215/35 is too thin and you'll end up bending or cracking your wheels.

btw, you can fit a 33 offset at 18x7.5, which I had.

 

no drop, not yet...

NY sucks for drops, especially the city, i hit a pot hole yesterday on my factory wheels i thought i left my entire right front wheel assembly on the side of the road.

Gotta love factory wheels

 

im on h-techs,
18x7.5
42 offset

ull be perfect

 

NY doesnt suck for drops. I live in Staten Island, and drive all over the city, dropped on a Hotchkis Suspension on 18X8 wheels with a 225/18 tire.

Ive never damaged a wheel, bottomed out, or anything else. You just need to pay a little more attention to the road and how fast you are going. Thats all.

And im not the only one here like this, there are about 5 other tCs in the crew who are also dropped on rims in NYC

 

If you like blue get the ones I got.

ok i've got a dumb question to add to this.... i'm getting 18 x7.5 at 225/40..... when it talks about treadwear is a higher number better or worse?

 

The higher the tread rating the longer it lasts, but the lesss performance it gives out. The lower the tread rating the better it sticks, but does not last long.

 

oh ok. so the 360 for the falken rather than the 340 for the hankooks (cuz was looking falken either way just curious) thanks leo

 

It is really hard to compare treadwear ratings with different companies because they rate them differently. It is onlt accurate when you compare them to the same brand. The Hankooks, believe it or not, last longer than the Falkens. Personally, my wife has the Hankooks on her car and thay are really not that great at all. I would choose Falkens over Hankooks any day.

 

awesome, thanks for the info!! was planning falkens, cuz had no use for performance so didnt need toyo or pirelli or anything like that. sorry taken a bit longer to get order in...unexpected bills kicked my @$$ last check. 28th will be orderd finally

 

Not a problem. Take your time. I know how bills can be.

 

Yea i live in staten island also, the roads jsut suck as im sure you know... I think i've seen you guys around. You got a widebody on ur crew? with a CF Widebody kit?>?>

I seen a few guys on forest ave, i work down on bard in the hospital...
