You could put smaller wheels on it.

 

wow. genius.

 

to be honest that car wasnt ment for 18's so the only thing that can come from that is nothing but problems... if its not one things its another... but if you wanna keep it more power to you... i would say try to custom design them obviously the stock ones wont work so look for a supplement something that would do the job that you can fold into the shape you want like rubber or get bigger ones from another car and start cutting until you get what you want but my suggestion is get some 17's or 16's then lower the car....

 

The problem is behind the plastic part. There is a welded seam that is sticking out about half an inch higher than the rest of the panel. It is protruding at the direction of the tire. You only need to turn the steering wheel about 3/4 for the tire corner to hit that. I was surprised to see a 225/40/18 fit without rubbing the shock tower. You effectively countered that with a coil over. We have the same dilemma, I'm stuck with the wheels & tire so I just grinded that seam flush behind the plastic fender liner and have it re-spot welded and primed. The plastic fender liner was secured to the reworked surface using plastic locking pins. I got an additional 3/4" side clearance from the grinding and hammering and that was enough .

 

no shit . i put 17 on my old 200sx and they use to rub. but damn 18's . wtf this isnt Midnight club racing. anyone with common sense wouldnt have put 18s on that small ass car. time to put those things on ebay and get some 16's or 17s w low pro

 

lol you can't turn.

The car is made for 15inch wheels MAX (mine are 13inches). I hope the transmission can handle the larger torque turning those wheels require...
