need emergency help in the tires/wheels/shocks forum about the f1norc's, I just lost about 1,000 due to ordering the wrong sizes im about to re order pls tell me if the 8'' all around with 35 mm offset will fit a 1993 coupe w/ prokit springs and tokicko shocks. and will not hang outside of the body. and if they will rub against the shocks or not. and if the 35mm will still leave the wheel inside of the wheel well. I dont want them hanging out of the wheel well I want them flush with the body. PLEASE help been waiting a month trying to figure this out on my own and I really need help.

they may require a little bit of convincing if you know what i mean

(225 strech, adjust camber, roll inner fenders)

but it should be absolutely dandy

so 225 on all 4's? I think the frotn page recommended 205-215 for the front what is the difference between 215/45 and 215/40 what does the 215 stand for and what does the 45 stand for?

You ordered wheels and tires without knowing how tires are sized? How long have you been driving?

using your tires as an example, the 225 is the width of the tread in mm. the 45 is the aspect ratio. its the percentage of the height of the sidewall compared to the width of the tread. low profile tires have low aspect ratios.
