Default what tire size for 18"

What's up everyone?!?!? Right now I'm in the market for getting me some new 18" tires. But I'm not sure what size to get exactly. Currently I'm rolling on some 215-40-18 with tein stech springs. What size tires are you all rolling on and are there any problems with what you got?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

My 18s have 215/35/18 tires (Falken Ziex 512). No problems at all. I really like these tires.

I would say to stick with the 215/35/18. I'm running 215/40/18 with an 8.5" wheel and even with the fenders rolled, I have rubbing issues.

oh okay....what about the drop on your car? how low can you go? do you i think i'll still get rubbing on a 215/40/18, if my rims are a 18" by 7.5"?

I'm on goldlines (about a 2"drop) and you should be fine with a 2" drop on 7.5" wheels as far as rubbing is concerned.

Actually, my problem is a combination of the aftermarket side skirt and the 215/40/18 tires. Falkens are great tires and if your up in the air about tire comapny and size, I'd also recommend the 215/35/18 Falkens.
