Tires Suggestion Needed~~

Hello Folks,

Finally opening my wallet to get a set of WORKS Emotion CR-KAI 18" rims.

The setting would be as follow -

18x8.5 +38 all around.

What is the best setting for tires without rubbing.

The car just stock setting, didn't do any drop or coilovers.

You suggestion would be much appreciated!!

Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 nuff said

I can't think of any other tire beside Michelin PS2's that can provide ride comfort, low noise, high grip, and most of all has a really good price for what it can do.

I've liked the OEM Dunlop Sport Maxxs... Dunlop has updated the tire with a Kevlar reinforced sidewall (Sport Maxx TT), and it has been getting good reviews. It outperformed it's competitors in nearly every category in a Tirerack test.

tire size for the 18x8.5 would be 225/40/18 if you want a sorta stretch look but perfectly safe that is what i run, 235/40/18 if you a lil more tire

my front are the 225/40/18 so you can see how it actually is.

my rears are 245/40/18 on a 18x9.5" so you can imagine how the bellow would be with a 245/40 on an 18x8.5" would be.
check out these pix for a reference

225/40/all around works best for you, don't run 245/40/18, they won't rub but will look like crab.

I won't run 245/40/18. I am just thinking to run 235/40/18.

225/40/18 that just the stock size right? i want to go with a little bit bigger but not too much. that's why i want to double check with all of you to go with 235/40/18 or stick with the stock size 225/40/18?

Thank you!!
