Default 225s or 235s on 18x8.5 ET32?
Possible tire choices:

PS2s
F1 GS-D3
Toyo T1-S

Currently lowered to ~25.5" on Bilstein PSS-9s.

Thanks!

225 keeps your speedo happy and offers more clearance but less grip.

Default I just ordered Goodyear F1-DSG3s in 245/35-18 to go on my BBS CHs 18x8.5 ET 35
I'm lowered to 25.75 front 25.5 rear so I hope I don't have to roll fenders.

Default Good to know. I may drop the front another 1/4" but I already scrape at the entrance
at my work place unless I take the entrance at a sharp angle.

Default I run 235/40/18's Kuhmo MX, during turns with a dip or other decent sized bump in the road
I rub, but appears to only be the liner
