im gonna be the 1st to run them by next week

they just got them in on Thursday so i should have them at my door step next week haha
im still trying to figure out what tires to run as the rims are 18x8, 225 or 235.
i need to test fit to see the offset and stuff as im on Sportlines

Joey, what offset are the wheels?

and 18x8 235/40 would be a great sized tire.

did you try calling tirerack? They should know that kind of stuff. But it's probably +35 or close to that, whereas you should be fine.

Same as stock, you'll be golden. With the different width you may have some rubbing at full lock, but i wouldn't worry too much.
