Wheel / Tire size question.

Hey guys. I'm thinking about changing my wheels / tires when summer comes back around, and I was wondering would the car look fine with 18X8 rims with 235 / 40 / 18 tires without any lowering ? Or will the gap from the wheel wells look weird ?

I'm hoping I won't "need" to lower the car if I do that as I don't want to take any work away from the snow removal crew during winter. They have to earn their money after all ! (And 8+ inch snowstorms aren't really that much of a rare occurrence around here.)

You'll need to know the offset. Check what needs to be done for various wheel/tire sizes: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...s-fitment.html

And yes, any type of wheel gap will look weird. There are available springs that provide a mild drop. I would consider swift springs: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...art-1-5-a.html
