Default For those with 225/40/18 size tires

Hey guys first post on the board!! But hoping to get some answers. Ordered my RH C2's 18". But wondering if anyone has problems with rubbing with 225/40/18 tires. Thinking about yokohama prada's spec-2 tires. The offset on the rims think is 42. Oh and i have a 6th gen coupe. thanks in advance.

i have a 6 gen coupe, and i have 225/40/18 tires, Pirelli P7000's, and they do NOt rub... and i have RH C5(mutltipieces). no rub, and they look nice... nice choice of wheels, and tire size consideration...

hey elite i'm dropped on GC and tokico illuminas with stock tires on. So right now i got about a 2.5 to 3 finger gap up front. And the front end of my car scrapes my driveway cause of the ww w-type kit so i think i'm gonna leave the height as is. And the roads sux around here so i can't go too low.

I have a 6th gen coupe and i'm running Racing Hart C2 Evolutions with 225/40/18 Nitto NT-555 Extreme Perfomance. Its a great setup. I have my car lowered with Neuspeed Sports and suspension upgrade to the Tokico Illumina Gas Shocks. Great setup, great tire, great wheel!

I was dropped about 3.5 inches in front until I dropped it an extra half inch tonight. When I had the tire off I noticed that I did have a small area where I'm rubbing at full turn. It's nothing that wouldn't be fixed with the proper camber.

I'm on 225/40 R18 on Neuspeed Sports, stock shocks

I dont really rub, only when I take hard turns with passengers, other than that, I dont rub when i'm by myself.

if you really worried about rubbing just roll the fender a bit

Nogie,

Paradas!!! NOOO!!! 225/40/18
Send them back I have them on RH M5's and these tire suck they are loud as F*&^ Send them back ASAP and get any other tire on Earth. I just ordered some Kumhos cause I can't live with Paradas any more

cryogen: when you're dropped 3.5, did you rub on the back ?
also did you roll the rear fender ?

I use 215/35 now, but I wanna get 225/40....

btw, yes, Parada sucks --> hydroplane sooooo often.
I'm thinking of getting S-03 Pole Position.
