I think thats a good deal for a set of oem 18's. Now what size tires should I be looking at? Keep in mind the car will have eibach springs installed on it as well. I was thinking 245-50-18 all the way around. Or should I run smaller width in the front and larger in the rear like, 235 f 265 r? I just really want to avoid rubbing. What are you guys running on your lowered g50?

First things first, you BASTAGE (just kidding) I was watching those and had planned on bidding, but I wanted to steal them .

245/50 will be too tall. 245/45 is going to give you the most options, though it's a touch "tall" (diameter). I personally like the 245/40's I'm running, but be careful to watch the load ratings. I might try 235/45 & 255/40 ... again watch the load ratings.

They'll look nice, get some pics up when you get them mounted.

Yeah, right in town too!

Probably going to like 245/45-18 for price, fit and load carrying capacity.
