any pics of low S13s with 18s?

I'm currently running 245/40 kumho 711s and they look too narrow for the rear. They're probably more of a 235 wide tire. I'm thining about keeping the front 225/40 and running 245/40.

BTW, car is on cusco coilovers with stock arms.

Anything bigger than a 225 will bulge on a 7.5" rim.

What? How are they stretched on a 7.5" wide wheel? A 225 would be square on an 8" wheel. A 245 on a 7.5 must look like a freaking balloon. Anyways you need wider wheels to run that size. Also most S13's with 18's have aero to go along with them.
