Those look sick, Id get 'em

Yeah I'd go at least 235 with an 8" wide rim. 225/40 with a 7.5" wide has a pretty small side wall already so 8" would probably just look awkward.

yeah, a drop would help a lot

I love an open space rim...maybe that's why I hate spoke rims.

fived · 03-12-2007, 01:05 PM

So 225/40 or 235/40??? Which one

Roush GT · 03-12-2007, 03:30 PM

You want 225, period. Why pay more for false hope.

Wrong. A 225/40-18 the speedometer will read .9% slower than the stock tires. They are a fairly close size to that needed, but IMO a 225 is too narrow for an 8" wide wheel. You won't have enough sidewall sticking out and be more likely to damage the wheel.

Anything 235 won't really be a good size on an 18" wheel with the sidewalls available. On the other hand, a 245/35-18 will only read .4% slower on the speedometer than stock, and you most certainly will see a grip advantage with that over a 225.

Stick with the 5 star style, but a little meatier to take the focus off showing your rusty rotors... unless you uprgraded to slotted/CD'ed. Also, those little indents will only serve as a dirt trap. Have fun cleaning.

I don't have any links because I haven't owned a GAGT in awhile. You can never go wrong with a set of Chrome 18x8 077's though. Thats what I rocked back in my GA day.
