Bought Sport Edition E1 Wheels. Need tire sizes!

[kking89]

I recently, bought some (well not my money) sport edition E1 Wheels and sold the black bullits. These wheels are a inch bigger (18's) and i believe have a +35 mm offset, same bolt pattern at the bullits and the width is 8 inches. Need ideas on Tires and what color i should paint the wheels or leave them how they are.

Dont paint them, the look great as is. I believe the correct tire size you are looking for is 245/45/18s.

245/45/18

^ 245/45/18 and put them on. Don't paint them

 

[kking89]

thank you guys! keep same color?
no ideas at all lol

 

[kking89]

Also will i need to factor in if i decided to put my lowering springs on when i do my wheels. The springs are ebach and lower it about 1.3 inches 1.5 at the most

 

[Bio248]

they'll go lower than 1.5", trust me.

and yes, leave them silver. not only will they look better unpainted, but their resale value will remain proper.

the springs or wheels???

 

[kking89]

as in which will go lower

 

[kking89]

Also bio what tires should i get?? im not trying to break bank. keep it like 500-700 for set

 

[Bio248]

the springs will probably go around 2-2.5" fully dropped and settled.

and for that price range you've got a lot of choices in tires, hit up tire rack and go to town.

i agree dont paint them, they are sweet ass rims

nankang NS-II

Are they good tires? hella cheap

 

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Correct, you get what you pay for, cheap tires are cheap tires.

They will be fine for dry and most wet situations. They are not a all season tire. Tread wear will not be very long either.

 

[kking89]

well how many miles do you think theyl last

 

[kking89]

because i found some for 100 a piece and they say the treadwear rating is about 9 outa 10 245/45R18 Nankang NS-II 24995001 BSW - Discounttires.com has the lowest prices on tires and wheels,

 

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

The tread wear is 340AA.

Compare that to most tires that are atleast 400 to as high as 800ish.

400 is around 25-30k, 800 can be as high as 70k miles.
