In that case I'd suggest a wider tire. You could probably go up to 255/35 if you stay at the height in the pics.

Mounted, my boy Mike in the picture, this is with a 225/40 falken ziex-512 w/ a 2.5mm spacer, going to see how it sits on the ground after we get otherside coilover in. Untouched camber. Thinking about taking spacer off and then messing with camber!

The fronts are 225/40 KDW's but they stretched like a 235... they are meaty as hell

This is going to look so good! I have a buddy on here running the same wheel only in Drag's lineup, and 17's not 18's. His Wheels are 17x8 et8 with 215/45/17. Its poking nicely!!! I cant wait to see the final outcome of your setup! Im in for more pics!
