RE: Metzler 210/40/18?
I'm using a 200/50-18, it's the closest circumference I could come to stock with the 18" rim, so the odometer and speedo would be accurate. The 50 series is pretty low profile. I've seen a 200/40-20 on a spoke wheel.......the sidewalls are almost nonexistent.

here is a pic of the 200/50-18 in a Metzeler, as you can see the sidewall isminimal, probably less than 2"

Are you guys running 18x5.5 rear wheels? I'm thinking about going to a 18 in the rear......all of the wheels I've seen say 17x6 (200 rear) or 18x5.5 (200 rear).
