I just installed, 18" x 7.5 rims with 215/35/18 tires, and my ride is incredible... It is smoother then stock, a civic i owned, a s10 i have owned, and my moms 2000 cougar... My ride is 110% better and corners like a charm. I will post pics asap. So if your in question about fitment, no worries... I could fit a 19" rim on my mx3 with no mods to the fenders or rubbing....

BWAHAHAHAHA... If 18's are smoother than stock-- then you must have had some rubber bands on those stock wheels.
Sorry-- no possible way (physically, scientifically, mentally, whatever...)that your ride with 18's can be smoother than stock if you drive an MX-3.

You probably had bent wheels and or out of balanced tires. That's been proven...

maybe so... just stating that 18 x 7.5's fit and my ride is better out of 3 cars.. So what? not starting a flame war here.

Hey man,
We know that 18x7.5's will fit-- many people have done that already. I am glad that you ave too. I wish I could afford 18's.
Listen, I am just asking how a 35 series tire can be a softer ride than a 50 or 60 series tire. I am sure it handles better without a doubt-- but sifter?? Thats what I am questioning.

Now the stock rims, the guy who owned the car before me did have an oddball tire size on the stock rims, which was a ruff ride. But it does feel better then my s-10, civic and my moms cougar. it was a 205/55/15 tire on my stock rims.
