BigJack Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have the same combo. No problems here. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f280/gpzjack/subyapril07SM.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have the same combo. No problems here. Well, I'd say that answer is about as difinitive as it gets. I had 235/40/18 kuhmo's on my 18x8 prodrives with Ion springs and it rubbed in the rear pretty easily so I went with 225's. Offset and rear springs are both likely different than yours so BigJack's annecdotal evidence is much stronger than mine. ignore him, he'll go away.

Hanger Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I believe Bigjack is lowered with Progress springs too, also running the same wheels and tire size combo, it should work but 225/40 will do ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanger Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I got them from local American Tire stores, pricematch with price on tirerack and added warranty on them (i believe it was lifetime, free replacement, free balancing, etc for about $50) total came out to be $496 mounted/balanced ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJack Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 None of these issues are so bad that i would do that...im just disappointed. I had high hopes for the car...it sits in my driveway most of the time.. I bought it in nov and it only has 4k on it. Im moving right now and after i move i will probably trade it in.
