Show me your deep lips!

toaster401 · 05-02-2009, 09:29 AM

hey clubbers...speaking of deep lips,this one time in band camp....no,but seriously,I'm getting ready to run some 18's on an 09,trd drop...sizes are- FRONT: 225/40/18 ON 7.5 WITH A 40 OFFSET REAR: 235/40/18 ON 8 WITH A 45 OFFSET... I feel like this is a safe,no rub,full backseat setup, which is a must for me. What do you more experienced guys think about these numbers? And does anyone have any experience with KONIG? And of course if you have a hookup for new rims+tires shipped,I'm open to suggestions...I've been dealing with DISCOUNT TIRE. ALL INPUT AND OPINIONS WELCOME....THANKS GUYS

I am running 235/40/18 on 7.5 with df210 coils and have no problems, even room to spare in the rear. You should be in good shape. I have 38mm offset.

Hey I'm getting the sportmax 512 18x8 anybody know what the best tire size will be for these tires to have that look of a big tire??? I don't want a low profile tire but i don't know what size I would need to get that big tire look??

JoeBryan · 05-24-2009, 03:33 PM

search the web for the wheel and tyre bible. It is UK so tire is spelled with a y. It has everything you need to know on sizing, offset, rolling radius, and soforth. I am sure it will be of great help

offset is +15mm.. I'm hoping they'll look good without even having to put spacers on them.. and I'm still trying to find out a good tire size for them ones that won't be low profile but still confused on how it works...

When we took my sport max 002's with 0 off sets to the tire place to get some rubbers thrown on, it took almost 1 hour. they had such a hard time trying to stretch the tires. It kept just fillin up about halfway and then it would make a loud pop sound and fall off. Finally he got them on but it was a real b****. now I look back and laugh.

make sure if you get someone to roll or stretch you fenders, they know what they're doing. otherwise its gonna be f'd up. saw some messed up ones on a sc400 and it looked bad as in ugly.

yellow_sub · 06-22-2009, 06:04 PM

the sportmax's were 16x8 0 offset

the work eurolines are a 17 x 8 and 17 x 9 + 30 offset supposedly but i've spaced them out some . so i'm not sure what the offset is now.
