Default Looking for a better look on the back

have some old voxx monza rims yes yes they came with car previous owner lol

its time for a tire change for the rear and want a more aggressive look

here are specs on rims

18x7.5

5x100 Bolt Pattern
45mm offset
Gloss black with machined lip.
Universal

right now running 245/45/18 with no camber wear. Not suprising since i have adjustable control arms/camber arms front and back and get an alignment every oil change.

So what would be a good size to go to for the rear?

I was thinking 255/45/18 or is it possible to do 265/40/18 or would that be too much?

Your wheel size is wrong (too narrow) and the offset is awful (way too tucked inward).

You need to buy new wheels (that are wider and with better offset) before you consider new tires.

Get rid of those wheels you have. Dont sell them, throw them away. Then buy factory wheels if your on a budget. $200-$500 with tires will get you a set on craigs list

they have a dude in my town rolling on 18X7.5. I laugh everytime i see him, looks like he has four spare tires on. I imagine blowing his car up with a bazooka. I always make sure I pass him up so he can see what the z is supposed to look like lol

Dude, no offense, but your wheel sizes are absolutely horrible and the people who you say "like them" probably own civics or are just trying to be nice. Get rid of those wheels and get something new/used, NOW!


P.S. please post pics of the current wheels on your car.

Yup, just what I expected. Seriously though man, if you're going to get new tires might as well add some new wheels as well, right?
