Leaning towards:
F: 18x9 et42, with 245/40/18
R: 18x10 et25, with 275/35/18
With Michelin PSS', Hankook V12 Ventus, or something similar.
David at Apex said: "They'll work as long as you use a street tire in the 245/40/18 tire size, since the tire will be slightly stretched. If you use an extreme summer tire such as a Hankook RS-3 or Dunlop Star Spec, you may need a small 3mm spacer so that the tire doesn't rub on the strut."
Should I stick with the planned setup?
Should I drop to a 18x8.5 in front (and if so, what tire size)? |
If this is only street (discounting the 1 auto-x per year), I don't see the need to go 9" wide up front. You may as well go 8.5 with lower offset and run the 245. To the eye it should be just as flush and you won't run into any rubbing issues.
