So I just got some 225/40/18's from tirerack to put on the car, really don't think they're going to fit, lol, I suck! If they do go on, the fenders are going to have to be rolled to hell.
 
What kinda springs are you sitting on?

Espelirs. It's not slammed, but the 215/40/18's on it are close to being tucked. I am thinking the new ones will fit after some fanagling. lol

I went out and got a heat gun and a baseball bat, I'm gonna roll the fenders before I attempt to put them on.

edit: oh something funny I forgot to add, when the UPS guy dropped off the tire he started shooting the s*** with me about tires, lol, just though it was kind of funny. He was talking about wanting to get himself some extreme summer tires for autocross.

edit2: here's some pics

Yeah they're actually bigger than my 225/40/18 Nitto Neo Gen's from my Speed6 (I have two spares sitting in the garage, don't ask, my wife can't drive for #).

The increase in sidewall height will raise the car about .15 inches, so that should give me the clearance I need after I roll the fenders tomorrow. It's gonna be tight, but I'm gonna have some meat on there.
 
i'm really looking forward to stuffing my 225/50/R16's under there... something tells me ima need a bat too. lol

HOPEFULLY buying em monday.

With those R-S2's at $84 a piece I couldn't turn em down. $390 to my door. And they got here early today when I just had the order go through tuesday. tirerack rox!
 
i'm hoping whatever tire they come with is an all season that I can burn up this winter... I've kinda got my heart set on direzza star specs for autoX/next summer.

Yeah I considered those, and the Kuhmo Ecsta XS's. But for half the price, these hankooks will do just fine, lol.
 
yeah, we'll see what the budget allows when it comes time to pull the trigger. lol right now I just need a set of tires to get through winter with, and I REALLY don't want to go back to the 15" spongy POS's I used last winter.
 
ahh i dread the day i go back to winter mode

i just started getting used to my 17s again, now i dropping back to a 15 with buy 3 and 1 free tires i got from the local straus auto

kendra kenetica's are my all season gone dedicated winter tire and i have to say no complaints yet with the last pennsylvania winter we saw
 
I used to have snow tires on my 89' 323 hatch. I lived in NSB, FL, lol. They were great beach tires, I never got stuck in the sand, and I used to drive down to the inlet to surf almost everyday.
 
new smyrna beach? I used to go down there for xmas.

Yep, that's where I grew up. Back before it got crowded with transplants. I moved to TN the beginning of 05'.

Funny, I always tell people I grew up in the Daytona area, thinking they won't know NSB, then I tell them exactly where, and everyone in this effen country has been there on vacation.
