Default Anyone here running 18's???

If so, what are your wheel/tire combos and if your car is lowered do you have any clearance/rubbing issues....

I'm running 18's and lowered, with no issues. It all depends on your wheel/ tire combo and How low you go.

You won't have clearance issues.

Hey, I'm running 18x9's all the way around with 265/35/18 Toyo T1S's and have no issues. I haven't lowered the car yet, but I don't think there should be any issues.

I don't use them because they slow you down. I have enough problems with that.

You should consider some light 18" wheels, The bbk rk that I have only weights 19lbs on the front and 20 Lbs on the rear. Its actually a few pounds light than the stock bullit wheels and thats with the wider tires.

I'm running 18x9 in front and 18x10.5 in back... 265/35-18 and 295/35-18 tires accordingly. I'm also lowered about 2" with the H&R Supersport kit... perfect look... the only problem I have is scraping my exhaust over steep/short speed bumps.

Do you have the hypercoated rims? I'm thinking about getting them for my 96 Cobra vert. Do you know of anyone with pictures.
