hey, just wondering if anybody knows if a 225/40R18 will fit on the koup with the lowering springs ?

Yes, that's what I'm running. Just watch out for potholes, and i suggest you buy them on line with a road hazard warranty.

awesome thank you, the guy at the tire place said they would but when i rolled them up to the car not mounted they seemed a little big, and wasnt sure if they would work with the springs i have on order... yea i know the pot hole problem, my old car had 30 series on it it was pretty bad, but i work at North Shore Off Road, and i get deals through alot of suppliers, and picked up the tires for 70 bucks each Canadian

Cool, hope everything works out for ya. What brand of rubbers you looking to run?

its a lexani tire, i woulda run something different but for the price i couldnt really beat it, and im really hard on tires so cheaper the better for me lol

Try toyo tr1. You can get them for about $150 a tire and they are pretty much the best summer tires for a sport compact. Great grip and with a harder rubber so they last long, and they're really good in the rain also

Hey, when you say "watch out for pot holes" do you mean they rub in more "extreme" circumstances?

I think he means that since it's a bigger tire, it's going to have a smaller sidewall and good pothole means BOOM!!! blown tire lol
