Talking Thanks from a Noob

I Have read this forum for like 3 days strait...since I am on my weekend...And well I learned a good bit...I was looking for a supercharger or Turbo when I found this thread...and well not a lot of luck with finding those...although many people have talked about them on here...What I did find was a lot about wheels and tires...I just ordered me some 18s for my 2000 280 sport...and will now prolly look over this site on a daily basis...you all know a lot about our cars...and well I enjoy reading it all...keep it up

Which 18s did u pick? Are you getting 7.5 / 8 or 8.5? Nothing like a fat tire
on the rear!

Nice. I might wimp out and go 7.5 front with 235 and 8.5 rear with 235 only
because I found some for a little less $$$ but definately 18s!

Post a pic when done. I should have mine in a week or so.

just to let you know, 235 will probably rub.

Sounds great. I see some wheel/rim combos on ebay but 235 isn't good from
what everyone is saying (at least in the front). I might just find some rims and tires separately.

Thx.
