help? Well I really srcrewed up. My car is lowered with the eibach pro kit, an I got 245/40/18 nt05 in the front, 295/45/18 nt 05 in the back. I really dont want to beat the crap out of my fenders. So my choices are go back to the stock stance, wondering if that will help? Or just sell the tires an buy the correct size which i shouldve read before buying
Those anybody suggest anything? Ill will post some pictures later when the camera charges. To see what yall think. Btw, the rears are rubing when I take the corners, an the fronts just look to small.

What offset of the front? A 295/45r18 in back??? Wow man thats a 28+inch size tire. Go to a 295/35r18. There is no reason such a skinny size front should have a problem unless your BS and offset is unusally low.

Iroc, sorry the issue in the front, is that it is to small. But the back is the one that is rubbing bad. That is the only problem, so what u suggest is just to replace the ones in the back with 295/35/18 huh?

What size wheel in front??? I like a 265/35r18 for the front depending on that offset. Will look wider(cuz it is)and yes, go for the 295/35r18 rear. You'll cut almost a full 2inches off the total diameter with the switch to a new rear tire size.

Really dont know the offset. But the way is looking is that i bought the 4 tires brand new an now i will have 2 sell them. The tire shop, that i got them from had 2 pull some strings 2 get them.
Regarding the clearance issue in the rear...after you installed the Eibach springs, which lowered the car, did you install an adjustable panhard bar, to get the rear back in the center of the car?

you must have a weird offset then. i ran 18's with same tire up front but not quite as wide in the back. my car is lowered with sportline springs so its even lower. def post some pics.
