18in wheel/tire setup

WongF87 · 07-19-2022, 01:46 PM

Is anyone running 18" wheels with 40 aspect ratio tires and stock suspension?

I am running 788M wheels and stock suspension, and currently clear my driveway with ~1" gap. I plan to keep the stock suspension but looking at 19" wheels with 35 aspect ratio tires or 18" wheels with 40 aspect ratio tires so that I can still clear the driveway. Curious if there are pictures for the 18" setup since the wheel to fender gap will be larger.

Wow, that setup looks great! Do you still clear speed bumps ok? That would lower the car 1/2", right?

Thanks for the picture! Do you know if he has Instagram? I'm guessing his car is slightly lowered, but I can't tell for sure.
