Hey guys!-im looking to do the set up on my E next week. i just got my eibach's(1.7x1.7) a couple of days ago, i narrowed down my choice to go w/ Sparco NS6 in 18x7.5 offset 38. im still trying to figure out what tire to go with. I dont want to go low profile. Has anyone used a 235/55/18...or should i go w/ 235/50/18?..im just looking for a JDM look:-). pics if possible.
Thanks,
Ronnie Lazo

I know your loving to post the picture
but is your element lowered as he is requesting?
rather than causing him to buy a tire that might rub with a drop that he is planning
?

HAHAHA!,Hater! - what I Meant By "jdm" Is The Most Rubber I Can Get W/o Rubbing And Yet Lowered W/ Eibach's.... The Element Is A Big Truck/suv. Im Just Going By Proportion Here Guys, If a Civic Hatchback(ek) Uses 16" I Figured W/ The Bigger Wheelwell Of The Element 18" Should Do The Trick. Pls. Check Out "elementz" E & You Would Know What I Mean. - Hmmm...

With those springs 245/45/18 will fit with with more to spare

I agree with MX Racer. Im Running 245/40/20 with a 1.7" drop with room to spare. Diameter= 27.7" width= 9.7" Section height 3.8"
With a 235/55/18 tire you will end up with Diameter = 28.2" Section Width = 9.3" Section Height = 5.1"
Hope this helps
