Tire Size Help Plz :D

Sup guys i have a 05 black ls sedan and i am planning on getting some rims. im looking either 17 or 18inch. Would 18s rub at all? also i know nothing about tires so what size tires should i get like treadware, speed rating, 215/40? 215/45? 235/40? i dunno anything about that so i was lookin for some help. I would like 18s to help elimate the wheel gap. but i also would like to lower the car with the pro kit. unless 18s would fill it enough. thanks for any help

What about these? Like i want low profile ones so then maybe 18s would fit?. Alsow hat sopeed rating would i want? and treadware? Would those rims and tires make a good combo and fit my sedan?

what is your original tire size? You should stick as close to your original tire size diameter as possible (but not smaller)....I had 205/55/16 wheels stock and upgraded to 225/45/17

No you will not rub with 18" wheels, you could fit 19's I'm sure if you wanted...

In an 18" wheel I'd probably go with a 225/40/18 tire, check out tirerack.com to look at some tires and see whats good or bad, etc...they let u know exactly what to look for.
