Hey guys,

i have 225/40/18 kazera rims mounted that I paintedhowever, my wheel gap is now HUUUGEso i'm pretty sure i'm getting eibachsbut my only worry is that the eibachs drop is suppose 2 be 1.4/1 inafter it breaks in, does the car lower more?

anyone have pics of their car with eibachs and 225/40/18 tires?want to see what the gap is like after.

The gap is huge because the size of your tires aren't close to factory spec! The diameter of your new tire is 1.1 inches smaller than the factory sized tires, hence the bigger gap in your wheel well. The Eibachs will help, but it's not the solution, better size tires is!

ooso best bet would be to just switch to stockers for now?

Well it depends on what you want to do. You really have a few options.

1. Keep those tires on, and burn them out quick. Afterwards, replace them with proper sized tires! (either 235/45/18 or 225/45/18 probably?) - wrong sizing fixed after new tires are installed

2. Keep your wheels, but throw your stockers back on, craigslist your tires away, and buy new ones. - longer time until you get rid of the stock look, but doing things properly

3. Whatever you want!

Personally I'd try to shoot for option 2, but that's just me.

Or you can buy coilover and have no wheel gap at all!

I'm on coils + 235/55/17 pzeros that are 3.3% over spec so I got zero wheel gap lol

Aite I guess I'll work for option 2.

Mines well paint my stockers gold in a few weeks before my school starts.
