Question Should I? Or Shouldn't I?

So I'm trying to decide if I Should go with 18's for my car? would they look alright? I don't want it to look like it has truck tires on it with small rims! My tire options are... 225/40/R18 or 225/45/R18 Suggestions anyone???

Hey guy's, Sorry wasn't trying to Offend anyone with the "Truck Tires" comment! Actually both of your car's are bad *** looking! So I would be okay with 18's with the right tire size... What size are you guy's running on your 18's?

I have a 245/45/18 on my rims

I think Ted has a 235/50/18 on his, which would most likely hit your rear strut plate.

I think your getting a bit confused between 18s and say 20s or 22s...they won't look bad in fact they will look great on the car, I have 18s on my GTO and only 17s on the Monte ....if I could do it over again I'd go 18s on the monte as well...

Id recommend 235 40 18 if you like low pro. 225 45 18 is in middle. 225 50 18 if you like taller tires.

I had 225 50 18 on mine and they were too tall for my taste. I prefer low pro so im with the 235 40 18s

I'd probally go 225/45/18 Just so I don't have too much or too little of a gap in between tire and wheel well....

Im Looking at Rims.. and the rubber is / 245-45-R18 / I always thought the 245 is hight and 45 is width. The rims were off a 99 GTP and To me it Kinda Looks Like alot of Tire But pictures are always differnt then in person
