Got some shoes, finally.
So i've had my car for about two years now and finally got around to buying some rims. They are 18 inch R1 Racing Hype rims. The tires are Diamondbacks (lolz). 215/35/18. I actually couldn't tell a big difference in the ride quality with such small tires. But let me know what you guys think! I'm ready for the bashing because i'm sure i'll get it. lol.

Nice wheels, but too much gap between the wheel and fender!

I like the rims, but with the car unlowered and the too small seires tires, it looks goofy

rims look good, tires is way to small, you need a drop, and yes to more pics if you changed the color of your car from that hideous blue color.....

Your tires are 4.9% too small, causing the pulses per mile in your tune to be off, whic may have minor effects like incorrect shift times and of course, a 4.9% error in your speedometer reading.
Closest to stock overall diameter for 18" wheels is:
225/40/R18
235/40/R18

Yea, even though i actually miss the old blue color i definitely had to get rid of it. I decided to try my best to "murder" my car. I'll definitely try to get some quick pics up of the whole car. Oh, yes, it's primer, but not from a rattle can. I was gonna do a flat black rat rod color but i changed my mind when i got the rims. Hopefully it'll be finished completely in about 3 weeks. Thanks for that info Ion. I was gonna ask about that but didn't know how to word the question. I started a thread like a month ago and was told not to go so small but the tires were already given to me so i figured i'd ride on em until they die. lol.
