I am looking at a set of wheels for the 240. I am (NOT) to worried about being extremely flush but I don't want to be sunken like a pirate ship either.

Wheels are

Front 18x8.5 +35 (I know the offsets are weak no need to comment)Rear 18x9.5 +35

I would like a tire with a little bit of side wall, not a rubber band.

What size tires would you run?

225/40 and 255/35? Not an easy fitment.

+1 for the tire sizes.

I'm not sure what your suspension setup or your car generation is, but to be sure about the offsets, get under the car and measure the distance between the rim and strut/spring and see how much room you have. Run your wheel offsets through a wheel offset calculator and see what the remaining clearance is.

I guess I should have mentioned the car.

90 240

SPL coilsSPL RUCA'sStock tension bars with ES bushings.

I would need a roll front and back you think? What If I went with 17's instead, Won't 35's on an look like a rubber band?

Nah not rubber bands at all for that width. Very slight stretch. IMO 17s look better proportioned on S13s than 18s do.

Yokota,

Can you get anymore of the Weds Farmas that you sold the eds13. I dig those wheels.

What's the "hot" wheel on your side of the world right now?
