Sorry for the noob question, but I have never bought Aftermarket wheels before and wanted to upgrade to 18" wheels from the stock 16's on my LX Coupe. I was looking at Tire Rack, and like the look and price of the black Enkei Raijins 18x8" (40mm offset). I do want to keep the wheels flush with the body (no poke), and I also plan to lower the car (leaning towards the Skunk 2 springs) so I want to make sure I won't buy anything that will cause rubbing or any issues with the ride quality.
I want to keep my wheels/tires on the lighter side, and want good affordable performance summer tires to go on the Enkei's. Will General G-Max RS 235/40ZR18 fit the Enkei's? The page for the Enkei's mentions that 215/45-18 are the recommended size, so I wasn't sure if going with 235/40ZR18's would cause any problems.
Also most importantly, I want the speedometer to be accurate and want to confirm these wheels and tires will stay within the correct speedometer range.
Oh and one more thing I was confused about- do I need to get anything for the TPMS? I'm not sure how that works, but I am confused if I need to buy new TPMS sensors or move the TPMS sensors from the stock wheels to the new ones? Or just simply reset the TPMS?
Thanks a ton for any info in advance!
