    I think with that huge of a wheel, you might be better or with Pro Kits or something.

    I have progress its a 1.8 drop f and 1.5 r.225 45 17 tires will rub on bumps for me so i would imagine theyyll rub for you.215 40 tires give me between an inch and inch and a half gap. Progress might be a little too low for you. S techs are 1.5inch drop all the way around. I would stay away fron anything over 1.5 drop

    Holy, you brought 4x4 to a whole new level. Springs only lower your car 1-2" and 225/40 are really low profile for 18" wheels and since oem wheels are 15/16", you will only lower your car to a bit lower than stock.

    Yea it is a 4x4. And tthe s techs are 1.5 inch drop, 225 40 isnt super low profile. The width to sidewall ratio is higher.theres a big differance between a 225 45 tire and 215 45 tire. The height fron the bottom of his car to the ground might be a little lower than stock but the wheel gap will pretty much be gone.

    i have right at 1.8-1.9 inch gap right now...and my tires are also completely bald, so i think the s techs will be fine....it was already between those 2....also that is the closest to stock overall tire size with 18's....so know before the speak please......225/35ZR18 is exact size but tire in that size are way more expensive and could not afford them when i got the wheels
