Will these tires fit? I have 18x9 for the rear. Will the tires fit without modification? My car is not lowered right now, but will the tires fit if my car was lowered? anyone know?

hey howie,
have you tried tirerack? maybe you should just pay for one rim to be mounted at costco, put them on yourself, and if it doesn't fit, in the end, all you lost is a mere $9.00. I hope it fits though. Oh, by the way, i checked out some lifetime alignment deals and they dont work on rims larger than 18's because they say they dont' have any adaptors for them. I know a place where you can get your car aligned even though your front bumper is kissing the ground. A lot of people in OC go there go get their cars aligned. there aren't any ramps to go up. no worries for my body kit!

Then can't you just mount your stock tires on your car when you get an alignment? I would be hesitant to get an alignment with my rims on. They'd probably scratch it!

The alignment shouldn't change much when you swap rims, right?

Good idea on mounting tires. I think I will do that...

howie, alignment places do not scratch the rims at all. i've had 2 alignments already, no scratches. just ask them before hand if they will scratch it or not. if they seem hesitant, don't go there, but i'm sure all places do not scratch them. i get an alignment every time i take off my wheels, or every time i think that they are off. i recommend just getting an alignment with your rims on.
