Scotty at tech 9 can give you a price depending on size I guess.

Not cheap, but not in the upper range of Jap stuff either.

Well you'll need to calc rolling diameter, but im sure 35s wont be necessary. 40's will be a (slightly) better ride.

I have 215/35/18 and needed to roll my guards, however my car is sitting on coilies and lowish. I like the look of the 35 profile but if that extra 5mm gave me a little less "I think i just felt a pebble" feeling, id jump at it.

There you go. Go with the 40 as its closer to the original speedo reading.

Plus ive found 225/40 is a more "common" combo, so you'll probs have a better range of tyre choice.
