Nice rims. In my honest opinion it looks like you either need to lower your car or get a little more meat on the tires. Their is alot of space between the tire and wheel well.

Lower it. I had the same tire size a 225 40 18. now I went to a bigger tire to fill the gap and ive hated every moment of it since. I want my 40 series tire back lol. Just having a 40 series tire already makes the car sit 1" lower.

But like the rims..

yeah i bought the rims used off of craigslist. and they had these tires on there. there isnt much left on them but i will upgrade to bigger tires. and lowering is also an option i have been concidering. deffinitly would look a lot better. thanks for the comments

Yeah even with the larger wheels, your new wheels/tires are actually smaller in diameter than the stockers by over 3/4 of an inch. To get back to the stock diameter you need to run a 225/50/18 or a 235/45/18. I would go with the 235s. A 245/45/18 is basically the exact diameter as stock but may be too wide for your wheels.

235s should be fine on a 7.5" rim. I wouldnt go any wider tho.
