OK.. finally got the 18" staggered MPARS from LWNT.
Now I need a set of rubbers that won't rub.

Wide open for suggestions here.

How about tire size?
225 in the front
235 in the rear?

If they are staggered, the general consensus is 234/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears

EDIT: That's what I ran for years.

That's what TireRack recommends.

Unfortunately General UHP is not available in 265/30R18... they do have 245/40R18... slightly taller but narrower within 1.6% of each other. Also works for 8.5" to 9.5" width wheel.

General Exclaim UHP... made in France and as tirerack ratings goes... it is true... #1.

Why didn't you get the Sumimotos or Generals when you ordered from Lakeshore? Anyhow, ... how's the service? Arrived good? I am going to get the 19s...

do you have the car lowered? SACHS kit? I don't know if that makes a difference...
