18" tire size help

[PURPLEFLEA]

Anyone know what the max tire size or best tire size is to use on 18"s with a stock suspension?I am planning on lowering it about 1 1/2" later down the road.THANKS

Most common size for 18's on the mx-3 is 215/35's.

I'd stick with a 215/40..........................17

haha just buggin, i second the 35 series, maybe a 205 profile though?

215 35.

If they made a 205 35 it would be even smaller of a sidewall. I have never seen a 205 35 in real life. Almost all 18" rims are at least 7" wide neways so 215 is a good fit

Thanks guys,Will the 215/35 fit with any type of suspension drop?

Btw,Thanks Yence for the tip on the eyelids.You were right about the evilyeti site.

Yea that will fit fine, shouldn't rub. Just make sure you get some camber bolts to even out the camber.

Make sure the rim has an acceptable offset as well, 40-45mm will be fine

Got it,Thanks Solo !!

i have 18s with 215/35/18 tyres on an its extrememly close at the back, so be careful with a suspension drop u might want to doctor the arch just a tiny bit to clear it.

Thanks,I'm actually rethinking the 18"s,I may go with 17"s.Way cheaper to shoe,and alot more aimed towards the tuner look.
