e36 18" rims need the right tires! HELP

[McDani3coupe]

ok so I just bought a set of incubus paranormal 18" X 7.5 rims and I want to make sure I get a.)the perfect fit and b.) a good performance summer tire for a good price...I was thinking 225/35/18 but I dunno...please help-LoGaN

You won't get anything resembling a perfect fit with 18x7.5 unless you run something like a +15 offset with very low camber.

You bought hideous wheels. They're so heavy you don't really need to bother with a good performance summer tire.

they will look sick and you know it...I'm sorry I didn't go with the exact same thing the factory put on it except bigger like everyone else! excuse me having a bold style. I really don't care if you like them though I'll just have my tire guy tell me whats what and have him make sure they sit ok. Thanks for tryin to help me but to be perfectly honest I don't really know how to check or change offset or camber or what they even are. I may be a newb when it comes to technicalities but I know my rims will look good on my car.-LoGaN

so i did my homework and the offset is 35 on the rims...thats not too bad is it? I really just wanted to know if the tire size would fit ok and all-LoGaN

i have a feeling those wheels may look cheesy on your car. Oh well, your car. I had 18x8.5's on my old car with 225/35/18 and they fit fine, you should be ok.

That should be fine. I am running 18x8.5 et40 on 235/35/18 tyres :thumbup:
