I'm looking to pick up some new rims and possibly getting Racing Harts off my boy brand new.  Only problem is I think they are 18s.  Anyone got them or now someone running them on a Rex.  Yeah I know they are big!!!!  And I will probably rub sometimes.  I just think they will fit.  They are 18x7.5 also with Yokahoma Paradas.  He got them and now needs money for school so I can get a very very very good deal.

There are a lot of reasons why tires can rub.  Offset is one, series of low pro tires is another, and width/height is another.  17's fit nicely on a rex with a body kit but stock they don't look to good.  You also have to have it lowered.  I actually got the idea for this rims off a guy on ebay and I emailed him and he has some 17s for dirt cheap with tires.  Email me if interested!!!

Gettin 17s but yes they will so I'm keeping the 15inch Axis Lensos with Nitto 555r Drag Radials I got for the track.  Not very good daily driven tires!

We put my buddies 18 inch Axis rims on my CRX once.  We basicly jacked up the car really high, changed the rims and went to put it down and the car just sat on top of the tires.  It was funny as hell.  The car wouldn't even roll.  I alway regret not taking pictures of that cause it looked sick lol

18" are going to slow you down anyway you look at it.  The added weight from the larger tires is going to add up quick.  (You got a B16, right?) cause if you do, 18" are going to swallow the little amount of torque that you put out.  I got 16's and Im trying to sell them so I can grap some 15's
