hey i'm new to the forums so hi!! I have 2 questions. I bought a set of rims on ebay that are 18x7.5 w/40mm i've been trying to find proper tire fitment without to much rubbing with the trd 1.5" lowering springs. should i go 215/35/18? or will I still rub with that?

thanks for the help!!

You should be just fine.
What's the offset?

 

A 215/35r18 is just right.

 

yep I run the same size wheel and offset I run 215 35 18's

 

With that drop, you could get away with the 40 series... it will give you a meatier sidewall.

 

Nice thanks for the help

 

should I go with a 215/40 then? I don t want any chance if rubbing though cuz I dont want to make this a huge project
also with 215s have you guys had to replace your rims from pot holes that much?

 

60,XXX on rims all original I would stay with the 35's

 

does TRD lower 1.5"? I thought it was a less than 1" drop. in that case I would go with the 215/40s, due to noise, etc. Also what type of rims are the eBAY ones, are you concerned about bending with a skinny tire?

 

i looked it up and the trd lowering springs drops the xb ~1" I was just concerned with puting 18's on my box and rubbing the fenders. the wider the tire the happier i'd be so do you think i'd be better with the 215/40 vs. the 215/35?

 

It all depends... how crappy are the roads near you?

 

suburbs of detroit. ____

 

actually you will have ALLOT of room with the 215/35's I rub VERY little with this set up and I am dropped 2.5. With a 1.5 your gonna have allot of room. Allot.

 

perfect. Everyone thanks for the help

 

I'd get 40s... I could've run 40s on my 2" drop without issue. You'll be just fine and you'll be protecting the wheels more.

 

true

 

just ordered the 215/35's o well. better safe than sorry i suppose, i will just continue driving like a _____ around every pot hole i see lol.

 

do you mean 215/40's. Those will be the safer bet.

 

safe as in I want to make sure they will fit, thanks for all the help and I'll post some pics when I get them on my box

 

kk, well the 215/35's I have fit great It's just harsh to drive over potholes big time. Never stops scaring me every time, haha.
