Hello, I have 18"s on my car. The size tire u need is 215/35/18. I had 225/40/18's and they rubbed so i had to buy new tires. My 18"s are about 5lbs per tire lighter and I can accelrate mush faster with the 18"s they have much more grip and with the 35 hight they are no larger around than the stock 205/50/16's

you weight the tires or the tire and wheel combo?

i have no doubt that the tire will be lighter, since there is less side wall, but the wheel is debatable

the rims are 5lb per tire lighter If u look at them u can see there is is not much to them. allso they are aluminum. tires are allso lighter. I have put my stock rims and tires on for winter driving and taking the stock ones from my basement was a chore at 40lb each my enkies only feal like there about 30lbs tire and all. These are a higher line racing rim so they are very lightweight.
