I have an 89 RS im looking to lower with the Eibach Sport Line kit, i have 16 inch rims on it right now but i want to put on those new 18 inch chrome iroc rims. Im just wondering wut tire size i should have on the those rims so that they wont rub, any thoughts????

Thx for ur time

 

i personally had the sport lines and just got the pro kit to replace them...lol. they are very soft. the pro kit is stiffer. for the 18 inch wheels i would go 245/45/18 that wouldnt be much taller overall over the 245/55/16

 

How wide are the wheels? I run an 18x8.5 in front and use a 275/35-18

 

they r 18x8" heres the link for them on ebay, id think they would look really good http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-IR...spagenameZWDVW

Also i put in all new suspension when i bought the car (monroe everything ) dont know wut i was thinking but now the car sits pretty high in the front, almost level with the rear so im not 100% if its going to drop alot more then the kit says its going too, thats why i wanted to get the sportline for the bigger drop in front...

 

im assuming u mean 275 in the rear right?? not the front?

 

No, 275s in the front. 295s in the rear with a 19x10" wheel.

245-255 sound like a good size for that wheel. I'm not a big fan of how it looks but then again I've never really been fond of chrome. What kind of green is it? It might look really good.

FYI, This is what I use whenver I start thinking about tires.

That'll put into perspective any size tires you want to compare so you can actually see how much different they are instead of just looking at numbers.

Looks like a 245/40-18 would be almost a perfect size match (depending on tire manufacturer), and 255/40-18 would be just a hair taller.

 

i used to have 18x8 on all 4 and used 245/40/18, perfect height, and fit the rims well.

i would also suggest you not get the sportlines, the rears are way too short/soft. My tail end would really drop when i nailed it with my old sportlines, not good. Prokit is the way to go here.

 

its teal green
