New 9x18 Advan RS wheels
Just a few pictures of the new wheels I got for the STI. Wheel size is 9x18 as per title with a 45mm offset. Tyres are Goodyear Eagle F1 225 x 40 x 18.

What size of tyre would be better for a 9inch rim 235 ? had the set of 225 sitting about so just put them on to see what the wheels looked like on the car.

nice motor and nice wheels!
i stuck with 225/40/18s on my rays which are 8.5" as i was concerned about tramlining and handling issues if i went wider and am quite liking the stretched rubber look (oo er)
only thing is youve got to be soooo careful parking- i managed 2 weeks before i touched a kerb
what suspension are you running,looks a bit lower than mine on prodrive springs

Its running Tein adjustable coilovers with EDFC AFAIK, looks stunning in the flesh, pics make the tyres seem overstretched, but they really just look moody and wide.....LOVE IT !

Lovely looking wheel - i would be a bit worried about that width tyre on the 9" rim, you can see the tyre is very stretched in some of those pics, would have gone for a 235 minimum.
I'm running 235's on my 8.5 x 18's
Am I right in thinking this wheel is generally for the EVo's?
