opinions please.




What do you guys think of this Wheel/Tire set up? I got the wheels very cheap, but sometimes I miss the look of the stock 18's all opinions welcome
Thanks

tires are Nitto NEO-GEN 245/275

I had neogens on my previous car. good tires, especially in the wet.

tough crowd.

All coupes look awkward without a drop, even with 19's.

a drop will definitely help and maybe some spacers.

A couple of things......has the side skirt been repainted or is that just a strange camera effect? And second, you either need a) bigger wheels b) smaller tire aspect or c) drop.

I like BBS, probably would look better with silver finish though.

No it was NOT repainted just the lighting I guess the color is Desert platinum.

Quick question;
If I put my stock 18's back on, Will I be able to do so with a 275/35/18 tire in the back?

Everyone That I have asked said YES but its not really recommended. what do you guys think?

you can but its not safe at all... i wouldnt recommend it at all... 255 is the widest IMO... if you want the widest lowest profile you should run 245/35/18 in the front and 255/40/18 in the rear... You will need a drop because of the low profile tires there will be big gaps in the fender wells

Don't know too much about tires/wheels. Why would it be unsafe to run that size (275/35/18) with the stock wheels?
Thanks
