What profile tire for 18x8.5 vmr v718
Currently stock suspension on my c300 sport. Most likely will throw on a set of h&r sport springs. But what tire and size are you guys running? I want a balance of ride and looks. Im thinking 235/40 right now.
Thoughts?

I got 45 offset. They make a lot of their wheels at this offset. You may have to drill out the center bore to 66.6 though. That is what i had to do. I bought my wheels from pyspeed.

you got that backwards. u want a 225/40 up front and 245/35 out back. It will look retarted otherwise, trust me. If your doing non staggered on 8.5's do 235/40/18 all around so you can rotate, thats the whole point of doing same size, dont mix tire size on non staggered, no reason to

I opted to run the same size all around for ease of rotation. Also the size I chose is pretty much like stock so the speedo won't be too far nor will performance be too affected. Your sizes are fine but like another member said, you want the higher profile up front, you give up profile for width on staggered sizes. I'll try to get some pics up though I'm waiting to get my springs installed first.

Shoot me your email and I'll send you the pics I took today after I got the springs installed, I can't for the life of me remember my photobucket login atm. Crappy bb pics though.
