help! does anyone have 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 pics?

i've been rim shopping and i've been unsuccessful. all the rims i like don't fit on the balt err! so i was thinking of scrapping the whole idea and just replacing the two stock rims that i nicked...


i also want to get lower profile tires like 225/40/18's on the stock rims...but before i do anything...does anyone have any pics of balts with lower profile tires on stock rims?

thanks!

Shouldn't have any problems fitting them on stock rims though.

^^I've heard that the 235/40/18's look closer to stock than the 225's. And they're .5" shorter so rubbing wont be an issue.

^^^those are very unique and sexy wheels. I've seen them in person. They make me jealous. If you don't buy them I would suggest fixing your wheels. I was quoted at $125 each to recondition gun metal wheels from a wheel specialist out here. They said it cost so much because of the paint.
