my friend is selling is his 18s really cheap and they will fit my car. thinking about upgrading because i love the looks of them. my car is dropped on eibachs now and i was wondering if it will rub any when going around corners if i switch to the 18s.

depends on the size of the tire

and the width of the wheel

and the offset of the wheel

You can't run 18's on a Tiburon without having a "big wheel" look. Nobody makes a short enough tire to maintain the stock diameter. But, if you like it, go for it... it'll be bling-tastic.

i think 18's on a tiburon look silly like kids toy and have no function. if you like that it's okay. i don't know if they'll rub or not but i know for sure that my 17's already rub with my eibach springs and i've cracked 4 of them on curbs or potholes.

205/35R18 is a tenth larger than stock

thats ok with me lol

... If someone actually made that size. Just cause you can type it into a tire size calculator doesn't mean you can actually buy that size.

TOYO T1R PRODUCT CODE 246250

Yeah, and a 35 side wall, though pretty short, isn't that bad as long as the roads around you are in fair condition. If you have a lot of potholes and whatnot, you may want to look into a set of 17's.

Probably takes forever to get since I can't find a single place that stocks it. Special order sucks and this is the only tire made in this size. Good luck if you get a blowout and Toyo discontinues the size. One blowout will require 4 new tires and 4 new 17" rims.

or you can run a 215/35r18 which is only .4 taller and have a shitload more options

just a thought

(btw cobra nanking also makes a tire in that size...but they are cheap chinese sh*t so who cares)
