Default Tire options for my LE37T's

I am running 225/40-18's in the front right now. My question is should I replace them with 215/40's or 215/35's? I'm trying to minimize damage to my front finders! Thanks!

215/40's i believe are the correct size. if you dont want to downgrade your wheels you can always slap on some wheel spacers...

Before you give advice do you even know what wheel spacers do?.... wheel spacers would make it worse.


Dream, With the TE's offset I'd use the 215 front and 245 rear setup.

to minimize damage to the front fenders you need to use a thinner tire.

Would a -1.5 camber in the front be enough to run a 215? Thanks!
