On all four corners of a lowered 03 sedan with 18 inch wheels from a 6MT.
Just wondering how it looks..

Thanks

I have 235/45/18 on 18x7.5 inch rims. The tire is flush with the edge of the rim and doesn't bulge out at all.

Thanks

I have 245/45/18 and it does not come close to bulging but I find its too
tall..

I had 235/50/18 before and find the 235/45/18 (stock size) is a good compromise between ride comfort and the low profile look.

Nice pic, car looks very clean.

235/50/18 ....the wheel OD sounds like it would be too tall for me

I guess I will have to figure out the wheel width, I thought it was 8
inch but maybe its a 7.5, I can't remember where I got it, either from
a 6MT sedan or coupe, and its the split spoke model..

So my options are 235/45/18, 245/40/18 and 225/45/18, I can't believe
all the time I'm spending on these tires but hey we love our rides.

Thanks for your input guys..

After much searching there is nothing in the 235 I want so its between
245/40/18 and 225/45/18, what would be the difference in handling and comfort, I'm guessing the comfort would be better with the 225 and the
handling I'm not sure. Any pics out there with the 245/40/18?

Thanks
