tire size suggestion....y33

Sup guys. another question, what tire size should i go with?

i just purchased a set of 18x9.5 SSR GT7.... the offset is twenty something....cant figure it out by looking online. need to measure. but, I am only on tein lowering springs. I will probably end up running a 7mm spacer on the front have not test fitted the rear so i do not know the size for that. I would like to keep the overall diameter of the wheel tire combo the same and a slight stretch is needed. any ideas?

i was thinking 235/35.....not to much of a stretch but still noticble and still able to clear. all i want to do is just roll the fenders. no pull. unless it will be necessary.

Thanks for the input in advance. you guys are the shizz.

225/40 would be my suggestion. Easy size to find and one the cheapest sizes as well.

I would say definitely go with a 40 series sidewall.

+1 one the 40.

But that's not all that aggressive so maybe a 235/40 just so it doesn't look like you're stretch for the hell of it. Unless you planned to add spacers.

I am going to run spacers and i kinda want the wider tires though...235/40....

i really like the way alex signature looks.......

think im gunna try the 225/40 first, get it spaced out to where it "should" be and if i dont like it a couple thousand miles later switch to the 235/40's....that is probably the best idea....

and ideas on the spacers? like i said, from first glance i think i need a 7mm for the front but have not tested the rear yet. maybe i will do that today.....

and thanks for the help! is there anywhere to get a forum sticker or will i have to cut it myself?
