I was wondering which one should I get.
225/40/18 18*8 or 225/40/18 18*7.5.
The car is still stock...have not lower the ride or anything...which one would look better riding on stock with 18's. Any pix would be helpful.
Thanks

what kind of car?    if it's a RS/GS i'd go w/ something smaller like a 7" so it's not so expensive because, trust me, you won't be spinning the wheels.
if it's a GST/GSX it all depends on how much hp you are planning on running.  if it's a GST and you want to run 300+ on it... i'd at least go 8" if not more.       
if its a GSX i think the 8" will be fine.  if you get to 350+ you will be spinning 1st and a lil of 2nd but not enough to notice the diff.

My pics are on 18X7.5 with some drop. They are a little snug in the rear. That is why the top is still tilted inward. If I straightened them up it would be against the wheel well. Need to raise back up a 1/2" or so.

the 8's would look meaner..  But like he said for the price the 7.5s would work just fine.

ya theres nothing wrong with putting them on a GS..  Your gonna have a slow car whether it has 8 inch tires or 7.5...     Not like a rim is gonnd make a big deal
