Goldlines & 215/40/18's - PICS
#4
Hey- I just posted this so others could see what this combo looks like. I really don't need your smart ___ comments. I drive 100 miles per day and I have had 35 series 18's before and they ride like hell. I don't think the 215/40 is that bad of a trade off for a decent ride.

It looks very clean!! Is there really that much of a difference between the 35 - 40 tire?? I have 35 on my 18's but I am at the point wether I am going down to 17's or getting more rubber for the tire...Let me know!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would have to say yes, there is definately a difference between the 35 and 40. I had 35 series 18's on my last car and it was just horrible. These 40 series Hankooks ride decent and are very quiet. My 35 series tires were Falkens - It got to the point where I didn't even want to drive the car it rode so bad and the tires were so loud. I am very pleased with these 215/40 Hankooks.

mgmlot93: I like it. What width/offset are the wheels? I'm really liking that lip.

I think the 40's are an excellent choice! They fill the wheel well nicely, ride better than 35's, and they only throw the speedo off by about 2.4 mph @ 65. I wish I had gone with 40's on my Xa, or 19's with 35's.
Well done!

Just the pics I was looking for. I couldn't decide on 17's or 18's. I think you made up my mind to go with 18's and 40 series rubber.
Any problems with rubbing? What width/offset are the wheels? Need to trim anything? I"m planning on going with 5Zigen FN01R-C's black with polished lip.

Thanks for all the comments. I have to check the boxes to refresh my memory on the width and offset, but I will check it out. No rubbing problems at all with a 3mm spacer on the rears - no trimming on anything. Thanks again.
