Just priced out the same wheels in 18x8s +40 and with tires 225/40. Its only gonna be like 125$ more and I think 18s is the perfect size.

You'll be fine with the 225/40/18's. Id prob try 235/40/18 with the NF's but idk if that will rub.

235 will fill up the wheel well a little more than the 225s right? Thanks for the reply. My finger is itching to order these bad boys.

If you push it real hard in turns then the 235's might rub a little bit, and I suggest going with the 225's.

If you drive normal, they will be fine with the NF drop.

This applies to both 17x8 +40 and 18x8 +40.

Go ahead & place your order.

Well I just bought the 18s w/ 225/40s. Can't wait. Under $1000 mounted and shipped with black lug nuts. Can't beat that!

do you allready have the NF drop? Also post up some good pictures of out it sits in the fenders to show the 40 offset. Should be the same as what I'll end with.

you got any better pics of the wheel and tire. More of a side angle? I'd like to see how that 225 looks on the 8" rim. also you have 40 offset, would like to see better pics of how it fits in relation to the fender.

if you have anything it would be a big help. thanks. More so the tire and rim fitment, trying to see if its "streched or not.
