WAY too tall, for one.

18x9.5 is gonna be near impossible to fit under an S13.

^ quick thread jack, i just installed them same wheels on my car(g35 on zenki), and my car now looks terrible. I think a lip and skirt would make it look better. O ya i wanted to ask you if you feel the car gotten a bit slower since the rims are so dam heavy?

You got any pix of your rear set up? I am planning on putting some 18x9.5 with 265/35s in the rears on my S13 next month.

I noticed when I stepped down to some 17lb 17x9 Forgeline rims. Are you still running the stock sized tires on the G35 rims because that could be the problem there. They also look out of place if you aren't lowered enough too.

Anyone got pics of the tire sizez on an 18" rim? I'm might get some P45R's soon and want to know whats the best looking/performance size tires to get. I was thinking 215/45/18 or 225/45/18 or 235/45/18. Which would you guys recommend? Or should I go lower to 40 series?

I had 18x8.5, 18x9.5 30, 34 mm offset Enkei Rpo1's with 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 nt 555's back in 00' from Duy's car and they fit fine with no fender rolling. I had a 285/30/18 Pole position on them when I sold them in 01'. If you lived in Houston and street raced and remember a red 95 with a 150 shot and 18's back then, it was me. My current setup on my other s14 is 18x8.5 28, and 18x10 31 Dpe's with 235/40 and 285/30. Man sportmax rims are bricks but thats ok, atleast if you **** one up they are cheap to replace. I could get almost 8 sets of those for what I payed for my Dpe's.
