Okay,

I know all about offsets, tire sizes, blah blah blah. Trust me, I know. However I've never heard anyone discuss a 215/45/18. To all my rim people, do yall believe that a 18x7.5 with a +42mm would rub dropped SLIGHTLY on GC's with that particular tire size. Tha height on stock LS tires, 215/55/16 are 25.3 and these 18's are 25.6, so it's not that much difference. Please give me some word of wisdom on this particular setup.

Peace

I wanna lil bit more sidewall. I know tha ride quality depends on tha tire you buy, but I feel tha taller sidewall will satisfy me. Plus, I kinda wanna add thick look to tha car.....a combo of a big rim with a decent amount of tread on em. You feel me???

Peace

Ya.. I do..... the 5 series difference isn't that much.. I would just try it and see if it works..I would just do the 40 series though....:) The stock rims have a HIGH offset and I myself wouldnt worry bout the bigger side wall, I would just not want to rub at all, and I wouldnt want to pay money and roll my fenders.. Im sure you could do it though....
