18’s u neeed like 190/30/r18 basicly glue yourself a ruber belt on the rim and off you go. And i would not put them on untill roads are 1/2 of what they are. Low profie , no absorbtion , potholes will win . ![http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/5144/3108061801gq5.jpg](http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/5144/3108061801gq5.jpg) ---

yeah… i’d kind of have to agree not to run an ultra low profile tire on these roads… you’ll end up with slow bead leaks because the wheel is mis-shaped, or even worse, big noticeable lip dents. ---

Thats only if you buy cheap wheels and don’t know how to drive But since they are 18x8.5’s so i am guessing the offset is about +35 i would stick some 245/35r18 or 245/40r18 But its hard to answear beacause of the limited info you gave, like offset how low you are. ---

i have a client who works in kalo tire , he sad so far he re-ordered wheels from 150 ach to 650 each due to pot hole damages. So i doubt better rims will do any difference on our roads, well here in north edmonton anyway. ---
