I am going to get these rim 18X7.5 (Racing Hart CP035R)

Here is another pic on a skyline.....

Here come the question.... What size of tire should I get???
215 - 35 or 225 - 35.. I want to put 225 - 35 , 18.. Is it too wide??? Thanks for any comments.......OO.. Do you guy know any place that sell them cheap.. The best price that I got so far is $542.08 @ Auto Glitz....Thanks

That style rim is nice. I have 215-35-18 and they're fine. If you get 225, it may bubble out on the sides a little. $542 a rim? That's what I hate about racing harts, too expensive. Try my homeboy www.1320tuning.com

you should go with 215-35-18, but you can go with 225-40-18...some people are running those on their 18's, and have no problem...me personally i stay with the 215's....no fuss, no worries..

The reason i want to put 225 so that it can protect my rims... but i guess 225 is too wide.. so i am going with 215 40 18

Yeah go with 215/40/18. That's also what's recommended by Rays for their Volk Racing wheels so I would trust them.

Ive got 18X8 w/ 225 35 I think that 215 40 or 215 35 would look great dont forget that the 215 40 will give more protection.

you got 18X8... how does it ride? is your car lower?

The offset of the rim is important too. I have 18x8 rims with a +50 offset. I'm running 225/40 tires on them. I might be at the SF meet on 4/12 so if i'm there you can check out my rims/tires.

cool.. I can't stay that long on the 4/12 meeting.... but i will check out ur ride........
