I have 225/40/18 with the 2in drop from progress....It handles like an indy car. I think it's the perfect size for the Cruiser, it looks great and adds to the performance. It doesn't rub but the ride does become a little ruffer due to the lowering..but that's a sacrafice I'm willing to take for the looks and performance. I suggest you also purchase the Camber kit if not you will get uneven wear on the front tires. I use the Kuhmo tires theyt are rated Z and grip like gum....but you don't pay out your A** for them. I purchased my rims in Italy so I dought you can get them here..but if you want pics just email me.
